Eco Travel Map
The Eco Travel Map is a tool for artists to explore how to travel between the Moving Identities cities in an eco-friendly way.
Sustainable travel is a part of the DNA of Moving Identities. That is why we encourage all artists to travel with the lowest carbon footprint possible, when they travel between the residencies in Europe.
We recognise that time spent travelling, and ticket prices, are factors that need to be taken into consideration.
That is why we encourage artists and residencies to consider the most sustainable means of transportation for each exchange.
The Eco Travel Map is developed by Sustainable Culture NOW, one of the Moving Identities partners.

HOW TO USE THE ECO TRAVEL MAP
The Eco Travel Map is easy to use. Find your destination. Carbon footprint per person, price and time spent can be compared between Train, Plane, Car and electrical car.
WHY SLOW TRAVEL?
We encourage everyone to act responsible and minimise the climate footprint of their artistic practice. This requires travelling with the lowest carbon impact. Travelling slowly combines aspects of sustainability, mindfulness and awareness.
WHERE TO FIND YOUR TICKETS?
We suggest you use Rome2Rio as the platform for looking for tickets. The platform gives you a quick and easy overview of types of transportations, prices and travel time.
DISCLAIMER
All ticket prices are based on prices for the following day. There is an indication of the price span between the cheapest and most expensive ticket. Prices are expected to be significantly lower when you order your tickets well in advance.
Train travel: It is not possible to travel by train alone to all destinations. That is why the carbon footprint for trains is a combination of the carbon footprint of train and bus/coach.
Car travel: The carbon footprint per person for travelling by car is based on four people travelling in a car. Car travel might include travelling by ferry. The estimated price range for car travel is subject to changing fuel prices, size and age of the car, how heavy the car is loaded etc.
Electric car travel: It is not possible to create an estimate of prices for travelling by electric car due to changing prices on power throughout Europe.
Carbon footprint measurement is subject to change, measuring methods and ticket prices might go up or down.
Air travel: Transfer is included in total time, carbon footprint and price estimate.
HOW DID WE CREATE THE ECO TRAVEL MAP?
We used Travel & Climate to measure the climate impact of each route between the residencies.
Travel & Climate is a reliable climate impact calculator created by scientists from Gothenburg University in Sweden in collaboration with a range of advisory partners.

The project was originally initiated by the Climate Smart Vacation Network of West Sweden, which consists of researchers, public bodies and tourism actors in Gothenburg and West Sweden, with the aim of collectively addressing tourism’s contribution to climate change. The network is affiliated with the Centre for Tourism at the University of Gothenburg and Mistra Urban Futures.
The following organisations were responsible for funding and participation in developing the platform:The Region of West Sweden via Klimat 2030, Centre for Tourism at the University of Gothenburg, Chalmers University of Technology, West Sweden Tourism Board, The City of Gothenburg, Göteborg & Co, Mistra Urban Futures and Mistra Sustainable Consumption.
Principal for the project is the Centre for Tourism at the University of Gothenburg, where Erik Lundberg is project owner. Jörgen Larsson, researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, is responsible for all numerical data used and for the methodological report which was produced. Fredrik Warberg, Tidsverkstaden, was project leader.
