Leading the way to a greener future through expert knowledge, practical skills and close collaboration.

Is your business and staff equipped for the opportunities and challenges created by the climate crisis? Our Carbon Literacy Training is here to do just that.

Accredited Carbon Literacy Course

The Carbon Management course is a comprehensive 1-day workshop designed to meet the emerging needs of businesses and individuals to better understand their carbon footprint and how to manage its reduction. Our course explores the key challenges and opportunities of our changing climate and offers practical solutions for employers and employees to help address carbon emissions and adapt to its effects.

In this 1-day course, learners will understand the science behind climate change, and how climate change and the role of carbon is changing the way we live and work. Learners will learn about the affects of carbon, plus understand how organisations can actively change practice to reduce carbon emissions.

Programme Content

This training provides awareness of carbon costs and climate change impacts of everyday activities. The training provides you with the knowledge, capacity, and motivation required to create a positive shift to catalyze action to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.

In order to become certified as ‘Carbon Literate’, you must take part in a day’s worth of accredited Carbon Literacy learning. The programme includes lunch, refreshments and course materials both online and in-person.

The Carbon Literacy Trust was formed in September 2013 and incorporated and recognised by the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in March 2014.

Its charitable aim is “to advance the education of the public in the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment” through the dissemination of Carbon Literacy.

The Trust is fortunate in having a board of trustees reflecting a huge depth of knowledge and understanding of climate change and its environmental and economic impacts, of work for the public good and individually, a depth of sectoral reputation and expertise which they each bring to bear in support of its aim.
