IES webinar: Carbon Literacy - A first step in responding to the climate crisis

It is now widely recognised that we are facing a climate crisis, with an urgent need to take strong action and achieve net zero emissions to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. However, the scale of change required is challenging, and success will require participation from everyone (whether active or passive). Developing a zero carbon culture is therefore critical to meeting climate targets, where enhancing climate literacy is a first step on this pathway.

In this webinar, Rachel shared her experience of developing and delivering certified Carbon Literacy training both internally at Manchester Met and for external audiences. This included the What’s, Why’s, Who’s and How’s of Carbon Literacy, an overview of Manchester Met’s award winning training (available under a Creative Commons license), and a summary of participant outcomes, before considering some of the challenges in rolling out Carbon Literacy training at scale.
