Carbon offset

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

The ISEE 2011 Organizing Committee have expressed enthusiasm for taking responsibility for the overall environmental footprint of this 2011 Conference by adopting measures to offset the impact of travel and conference related activities by contributing to sustainable energy projects. The impacts of global climate change are now a common topic of scientific discourse at ISEE conferences, which provide a superb platform for hundreds of scientists to discuss health and other impacts of climate change. For this 2011 ISEE conference we provide links to a few simple websites that allow travellers to calculate the CO2 emissions associated with their air travel and then purchase credits that offset these emissions. We encourage you to join other ISEE 2011 participants in becoming part of the solution.

Please click on the links below for more information and to offset your carbon emissions:

The ISEE 2011 Organizing Committee takes this opportunity to advise you to use public transport during your transfers through the city: http://www.tmb.cat/en_US/home.jsp

It is also possible to rent bicycles. Barcelona has an extensive bike path by which you can move smoothly. For more information, click the following links:

Venue

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

The venue of the ISEE 2011 Barcelona Conference is:

Palau de Congressos de Barcelona

Fira de Barcelona

Av. Reina María Cristina

08004 Barcelona

Metro stop: Espanya L1 (red), L3 (green)

Cool Biz is one of the initiatives ISEE conference organizers have adopted to promote adaptive approaches to the thermal comfort (clothing appropriate to season). The Cool Biz dress code advises conference attendants to wear trousers made from materials that breathe and absorb moisture. Additionally, attendants are encouraged to wear short-sleeved shirts without jackets or ties. Cool Biz has been particularly effective in other conferences, specially in Asia, where their attitude in shaping collective behaviours and environmental policy practices are well known. In order to celebrate a conference aligned with sustainable principles, please dress according to the season’s weather.

How to get to the Venue

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

How to get to the Conference Venue from the Airport:

On arrival at Barcelona’s El Prat Airport, you have the following options to get to the Conference Venue:

By bus: Take the Aerobus in front of your arrival terminal (there are buses available in both T1 and T2 terminals) and get off at Espanya square (Barcelona). The trip takes approximately 30 minutes, and buses run every 15 minutes from 6:00a.m. to 12:30a.m. The cost of one way trip is about €5.10 and round trip costs about €8.75. Tickets can be purchased on the bus. If you take the Aerobus back to the airport, remember to check that you are taking the bus corresponding to your departing terminal.

By train: The train service actually operates from T2 terminal at the Renfe (Cercanías/Rodalies) suburban train station. If you come from T1 there is a shuttle bus service departing in accordance with train arrival times and linking the two terminals every 6 or 7 minutes, the journey lasts approximately 10 minutes. Once you are in the airport train station, take the train from the airport and get off at Estació de Sants (Barcelona). From there, take the metro (L3) to Espanya station. The trip takes approximately 25 minutes (airport to Sants station), and trains run every 30 minutes from 6:00a.m. to 11:30p.m. The cost of one way trip is about €2.80.

By taxi: Taxis in Barcelona are black and yellow. They may be ordered by phone, found at authorised taxi stands or flagged down in the street. Please always check that the meter is running. Taxis must usually be paid in cash although some accept credit cards. The cost of a taxi from the airport to the Conference Venue is about €30.00 from T2 and €35.00 from T1.

How to get to the Conference Venue and move around the city:

Located in Avenue Maria Cristina, close to Plaça Espanya (Espanya square) and in the hills of Montjuic mountain, Fira de Barcelona venue is extremely well connected with the rest of the city (by metro: Red line (L1) and Green line (L3), in both cases the metro station is ‘Espanya’) and with the airport (see transportation section below).

The venue facilities are also located to an easy walking distance from all tourism attractions. The urban planning of the venue area is based on a grid, which makes it really easy to get a sense of direction in the city. Moreover, in Barcelona the weather is pleasant for most of the year and in September temperatures fluctuate around 22 ºC (72 F) which makes it great to explore it out walking. As an example walking from Pl. Espanya to Pl. Catalunya (city centre) takes 30 minutes along the same street (Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes street). For more information about how to walk around in Barcelona please click the following link: Google transit in Barcelona

Otherwise, Metro is also a good option to move around in the city. The widespread availability of metro stations allows you to cover the entire city using this means of transport. Buses are available from Plaça Espanya, you can buy on board only single tickets. Public transport tickets can be used both for bus, metro or tram, within a period of 1 hour and 15 minutes. A single ticket is €1.45, a 10 trips ticket is €8.25, one day ticket is €6.20, two days ticket is €11.50, three days ticket is €16.50 and a four days ticket is €21.00, you can buy the tickets at the metro stations or at the tourist offices located in the city centre. For more information on public transport please click the following link:http ://www .tmb .cat /en _US /home .jsp

Alternatively, an authorised taxi stand is located in Espanya Square with public taxis operating at full service 24 hours a day. Aligned with a more sustainable conference we encourage you to use bus and metro to move around while in Barcelona.”
