Abstract
This research estimated the environmental impact and financial cost of two in-person academic events, identifying main emission sources and mapping them against the COM-B behavior change framework. The events contributed significantly to CO₂e emissions, with distance from home being the largest contributor. A multi-component behavioral change program is proposed, incorporating environmental change, enablement, education, incentivization, and persuasion to reduce future emissions.
