Carleton University acknowledges its share of global emissions, particularly from emissions related to flying to conferences and meetings (one international flight is equivalent to a typical person\u2019s annual carbon emissions from all other sources). While travelling helps advance research, options are available to limit travel emissions by reducing the distance travelled, switching travel modes, and using alternative modes of communications. The Strategy under development aims to help individual researchers and Carleton as a whole to reduce its emissions over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/climatecommons\/climate-change-courses\/\">Courses at Carleton<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><strong>Interested in studying climate change, sustainability, or environmental issues?<\/strong> Explore the wide range of courses available at Carleton University.
