Reducing emissions relies on every individual understanding the carbon impacts of their choices and feeling confident, motivated and supported to take action. Whether in our workplaces, communities or everyday lives, we all have a role to play in creating a more sustainable future.
Designed specifically for the post-16 education sector, this certified Carbon Literacy Training provides the knowledge, confidence and practical tools needed to understand climate change and take meaningful action. Combining flexible self-study learning with two half-day virtual workshops, the programme offers an engaging and accessible learning experience that fits around busy schedules.
Through interactive discussions and practical activities, delegates will explore the causes and impacts of climate change, calculate their own carbon footprint and identify realistic opportunities to reduce emissions both personally and professionally. The course also develops confidence in communicating climate issues with colleagues, learners and wider stakeholders, helping to embed sustainability across an organisation.

The training was developed by Manchester Metropolitan University in collaboration with the Carbon Literacy Project and is certified by the Carbon Literacy Project.
