MyClimate carbon-neutrality label

Based on a partnership with myclimate, CISBAT 2021 will be "carbon neutral". Offset of an estimated 160 tons of CO2 emissions  (including participants' travel and lodging, infrastructure, meals etc.) will benefit high-quality myclimate climate protection projects.

... and more

• To reduce the environmental footprint further, CISBAT 2021 will offer the possibility of remote attendance; it actively encourages remote participation especially for participants whose travels would include long-haul flights (air travel to and from the conference was responsible for 90% of CISBAT 2019 emissions).
• We invite participants from Europe to travel by train. For a calculation of CO2 emissions that can be avoided by travelling by rail and estimation of travel times enter your trip in  . Often the difference in travel time and cost is not as high as expected!
