Accredited Carbon Literacy Training

We will explore the science and impacts of climate change, the role of carbon emissions, the solutions available to us, and what climate action means in our everyday lives, groups and communities. The session is highly interactive, combining engaging presentations with group discussions, activities, videos and opportunities to share ideas and develop practical solutions.
