Carbon Literacy

Carbon Literacy
Monday 20 January 2025 – 10am – 3.30pm – MB2201, Minerva Building, Brayford Campus

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.
