Course Outline

Carbon literacy training is an educational program designed to increase awareness and understanding of carbon emissions, climate change, and their associated impacts.

The Carbon Literacy Project defines Carbon Literacy as “an awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.”

It is appropriate to a wide range of audiences, including employees of businesses and government agencies, students, community members, and the general public.

The aim is to create a more informed and engaged society capable of making environmentally responsible choices and supporting sustainable policies and practices.

Climate Science
The study of Earth's climate system, including the atmosphere, oceans, and land, to understand their impacts.
Carbon Emissions
The release of carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Climate Change Impacts
The effects of changing climate conditions on ecosystems, weather patterns, human health, economies, and infrastructure.
Communication & Advocacy
Informing and engaging people to raise awareness, influence policies, and drive action for a sustainable future.

 

Topics will include the following;

  • Climate Science: Participants learn about the basic principles of climate science.
  • Carbon Emissions: Training provides information on the sources of carbon emissions.
  • Climate Change Impacts: Participants are educated about the potential consequences of climate change.
  • Mitigation and Adaptation: Carbon literacy training often explores strategies for reducing carbon emissions (mitigation) and adapting to the changes that are already occurring (adaptation).
  • Personal and Organizational Actions: The training encourages individuals and organizations to take concrete steps to reduce their carbon footprint.
  • Communication and Advocacy: The ability to spread the message is an important aspect of Carbon Literacy.

 

We are currently offering two Carbon Literacy courses to get you and your team certified Carbon Literate. Our courses can be delivered in English or Welsh.

  • Carbon Literacy for Welsh SMEs

Although a bit of a heavy subject, Rhodri kept it engaging throughout the day, supporting us through actionable changes we can make to our lives to reduce our carbon footprint; along with helping us understand the implications we face with a lack of action. Thank you!"
