Carbon Literacy Training
Staff will be able to attend a dedicated Carbon Literacy training session on 28 November 2023, held in-person in JUN0001 (ground floor of The Junxion), from 10am – 3pm. To book your place, please visit: https://hr.lincoln.ac.uk/hrselfservice/.
Carbon Literacy is defined by the Carbon Literacy Project as ‘an awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis’. The Carbon Literacy Project is a scheme (and organisation) that was developed in Manchester to provide access to this learning to all. It’s based on the key aim that if we are to cut carbon emissions by the level of reductions that have been recommended to us by science, we will mobilise a societal shift towards more sustainable behaviours and a greater culture of environmental awareness.
Following completion of the training, attendees should:– Better understand how climate change will affect them.– Be able to effectively communicate the impacts of climate change.– Have knowledge and skills to lower their carbon footprint.– Make a pledge to change an element of behaviour or to implement an action that will result in tangible carbon savings.
There will be a 45 minute lunch break (staff can either stay in the room or utilise one of the communal spaces within the building). Refreshments will be provided during the training. Attendees are asked to bring their own cups/water bottles to reduce waste. Lunch is not provided.
Future dates available on MyView for booking are:– 15 January 2024– 11 April 2024– 18 June 2024
