Description

In 2020 the sustainability committee of the Dutch Astronomy Council published an inventory of CO2 impact of astronomy in 2019. In the strategic plan for astronomy 2021-2030 a significant reduction of the CO2 impact was announced. We present an update on the CO2 emissions of Dutch astronomy, in particular related to air travel and discuss this in the context of the announced CO2 reductions.
