With increasing concerns over climate change, scientists must imperativelyacknowledge their share in CO2 emissions. Considering the large emissionsassociated with scientific traveling - especially international conferences -initiatives to mitigate such impact are blooming. With the COVID-19 pandemicshattering our notion of private/professional interactions, the moment shouldbe seized to reinvent science conferences and collaborations with a modelrespectful of the environment. Yet, despite efforts to reduce the footprint ofconferences, there is a lack of a robust approach based on reliable numbers(emissions, carbon offsetting/removals, etc.) to accompany this shift ofparadigm. Here, considering a representative scientific society, theInternational Adsorption Society, we report on a case study of the problem:making conferences carbon neutral while respecting the needs of scientists. Wefirst provide a quantitative analysis of the CO2 emissions for the IASconference in 2022 related to accommodation, catering, flights, etc. Second, weconduct two surveys probing our community view on the carbon footprint of ouractivities. These surveys mirror each other, and were distributed two yearsbefore and in the aftermath of our triennial conference (also corresponding topre/post COVID times). By combining the different parts, we propose ambitiousrecommendations to shape the future of conferences.
