Climate (or carbon) literacy begins with building a solid knowledge base. Core focus areas include an understanding of the basic science behind the greenhouse effect, the causes and consequences of human-induced climate change and strategies for effective climate action.

Following the acquisition of climate knowledge, the next critical step is the capacity to assess one’s own environment. Within the workplace this involves identifying areas to reduce costs or create competitive advantage through differentiation…both internally and externally.

With the capability in place, the next essential step is inspiring the motivation to put climate strategies into action. This motivation may stem from a desire to gain competitive advantage, align with stakeholder expectations, or contribute to a more sustainable world for future generations.

Our Climate Literacy Training focuses on delivering the required knowledge, comprehension and skill to identify opportunities for the undertaking of climate action.

The course offers numerous opportunities for participants to collaborate and create tailored strategies that enhance your company’s sustainability and business performance.

Successful graduates of Climate Literacy Training have the opportunity to become formally certified as Carbon Literate by the UK’s Carbon Literacy Trust. This involves completing the course and a written response to three questions relating to climate literacy (approximately 1000 words). Those who demonstrate consistent engagement during the training will be well-positioned to successfully meet these requirements.
