I hereby commit myself to refrain immediately from taking official short-haul flights up to 1,000 km (equivalent to about 12 hours train journey).
Moreover, in order to make business travel more climate-friendly overall, I call on the federal government to adapt the Federal Travel Expenses Act so that greenhouse gas emissions are taken into account in the selection of the means of transportation for business-related travel. Financial compensation for CO2-emissions caused by long-haul flights should nevertheless be reimbursable as part of expenses.
I call upon my scientific institution to support me in climate-friendly travel for business trips by providing the appropriate means and internal regulations.
All persons who are employed at scientific institutions in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, or who are based in one of these countries in the form of scholarships (with the exemption of students), are encouraged to sign. Other (non-scientific) employees may sign if they travel on business in Germany, Austria, Switzerland or abroad as part of their work.
