Abstract
With increasing climate change concerns, there are calls for action to reduce aviation greenhouse gas emissions. Universities are responsible for a significant amount of air travel and this study evaluates approaches to reduce aviation emissions at Griffith University. The research involved a series of semi-structured interviews with ten relevant Griffith University stakeholders and a week-long immersive digital platform discussion with 52 Griffith University staff. The following research outcomes are discussed: aviation emission targets; staff buy-in to a net zero carbon culture; technologically advanced teaching & practice; aviation emission data & monitoring; travel booking system developments; and institutional barriers to change.
