Study abroad travel by plane forms the largest component of a programme's carbon footprint. This paper stresses the importance of embedding climate action into study abroad and outlines climate action steps for on-site programmes in Europe to become more sustainable, including 1) calculating carbon footprints, 2) reducing emissions, 3) offsetting remaining emissions, and 4) embedding climate and sustainability education into our programmes. Practitioner survey results show that many programmes have already implemented some actions, but more could be done with targeted effort. Student survey results show that while they favour climate action outcomes in their programme, most students view their abroad semester as an opportunity to be hypermobile without consideration to climate. We view climate action and sustainability education within our programmes as being critical to the future of study abroad in Europe.
