Presentation Description:

< In this session, presenters will share new advances in sustainability for study abroad. Jetfuel is a top contributor in university carbon-use and should especially be considered in one-week programs and student personal travel during semester exchanges. Beyond carbon emissions, the industry and students themselves are beginning to consider more thoughtfully their impact as a group or simply as a foreigner in study abroad destinations.

< Topics: successful/failed initiatives, CANIE/global agreements, student-oriented projects, institutional and program-based changes

Learning Objectives:

1. Provide examples of student materials to learn about sustainability in travel
2. Review global and national initiatives already being implemented in international education
3. Discuss new techniques or ideas for carbon offsetting, community give-backs, slow-travel rewards, or environmental causes to support
