How were these numbers computed?
CO₂: values come from EcoPassenger (UIC/HAFAS).
EcoPassenger link
Travel times: values were estimated using Rome2Rio for the route from
Università della Svizzera italiana (Lugano) to each destination (example link).

CO₂ budget assumption: We assume the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C.
If the remaining IPCC carbon budget of approximately 420 billion tons of CO₂ until 2050
is distributed across an average world population of 8.8 billion people, this corresponds
to a maximum individual carbon budget of about
1.5 tons of CO₂ per person per year.
