Getting There

The conference organizers would like to encourage you to think carefully about your carbon footprint as you plan your trip to Paris. Paris is within easy reach of many European countries by train thanks to high-speed rail networks linking it to many neighbouring countries. If air travel is inevitable, you can reduce your trip’s carbon footprint by minimizing the number of connecting flights you take to reach Paris. If you would like to assess the carbon footprint of your travel options, please use the carbon calculator here.
