Abstract

► Measures are urgently needed to cut carbon emissions of international conferences. ► Decentralization works if venues are selected based on the origin of applicants. ► A two venue event may cut emissions by 20% with good participation at each venue. ► An effective carbon reduction strategy should play at the global level.
