Abstract

Swansea is one of many UK Geography Departments that have experimented with lower-carbon travel, following the return, after the Covid-19 pandemic, of undergraduate fieldtrips to destinations outside the UK. In late March 2023, twenty students and three staff from Swansea University Geography set off on the department’s first lower-carbon organised fieldtrip to the city of Berlin. Going by land reduced the transport element of our carbon emissions by 73%. Here we explore some of the opportunities and the challenges that came with travelling 3,000km by coach.
