Courses in the many aspects of climate action are being run by several organisations around the country.
CARBON LITERACY
The Carbon Literacy Project offers everyone a day’s worth of Carbon Literacy® learning, covering – climate change, carbon footprints, how you can do your bit, and why it’s relevant to you and your audience. A growing range of Carbon Literacy Toolkits have been developed to maximise the ease and speed of adopting Carbon Literacy – which means you can learn to run courses yourself, and there are workshops that can help prepare you for that.
Meanwhile there is a continuous programme of courses being run by different organisations for different groups and industry sectors.
TOWN & PARISH COUNCILS
National organisations are running specific courses for the local council sector.

Carbon Literacy Qualification – SLCC 11th & 18th June 2023

It will coach you on the impacts of climate change, the scientific reason for treating it as an emergency, and practical actions and projects to deal with this. It will give you a host of ideas from updating your local neighbourhood plan and putting in LED lights through to setting up a repair café or a solar farm. It will guide you on their implementation.
Unleashing the Power of Local Councils to Tackle the Climate Emergency – NALC 26th June 2024
Empower your local council to force change in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss. Despite their potential, many smaller councils feel shackled by a lack of funding and disempowered in making a tangible impact. It’s time to change that narrative.
