Recognising that reducing air travel is one of the most effective ways individuals can help minimise their contribution to climate change – but that sustainable travel options are often more expensive than taking a flight – Darwin College is actively working to support more sustainable travel alternatives, for example by launching the Sustainable Travel Grant in 2025.
In 2025, Darwin College launched the Sustainable Travel Grant. This grant serves to cover the cost difference between a flight and a more sustainable travel option. College members can now apply for this funding through the same application form as other College travel grants. The application materials can be found here.
To help plan lower-emission journeys, members of the University can also make use of RouteZero – a journey planning tool that compares travel options based on emissions, cost, and duration. It’s a helpful resource for exploring more sustainable routes to your destination. Find out more on the RouteZero information page.
