Carbon Literacy training

Carbon Literacy® Certification

This Carbon Literacy Course is designed especially for charities and community organisations and is split into two parts: a one-day, in-person session and a follow-up 2-hour online workshop. Across both, you’ll explore why sustainability matters, learn practical ways to reduce carbon, cut costs, improve services, and show your community you’re committed to positive change. You must attend both parts to receive your certification and take a confident step toward a more sustainable future.
