An audit of the carbon footprint of travel for the Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society International Education Foundation partnerships

CONCLUSIONS: Air travel from these CASIEF partnerships resulted in 380.9 tons CO2-e but also enabled 5,601 volunteer days-in-country since 2014. The estimated environmental cost needs to be balanced against the impact of the programs. Regardless, carbon-reduction remains a priority, whether by discouraging premium class travel, organizing longer trips to reduce daily emissions, prioritizing remote support and virtual education, or developing partnerships closer to home.PMID:36670316 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-022-02388-w
