What is Carbon Literacy?

Carbon Literacy is about understanding the carbon impacts of our everyday activities and developing the knowledge, confidence and motivation to reduce emissions.

The training moves beyond awareness of climate change by asking participants to consider what meaningful action looks like within their own lives, studies, work, teams and wider areas of influence.

Successful participants have the opportunity to become formally certified as Carbon Literate through The Carbon Literacy Project.
