The carbon footprint of a UK University during the COVID-19 lockdown

Viachaslau Filimonau et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 lockdown, a UK university's overall carbon footprint decreased by almost 30%, but the carbon intensity of online teaching was found to be substantial, almost equaling the carbon emissions from staff and student commute pre-lockdown. The study contributes to academic discourse on the carbon benefits of higher education provision models and highlights the importance of carefully considering the carbon implications of transitioning education online in policy and management decisions.
