FE College Net Zero and Skills

Following a project 'The Estimated Cost of Achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2030 in London’s Further Education Colleges' led by EAUC and the Carbon Trust, which was funded by the Greater London Authority. The project objectives were:

• Assess the economic cost of reaching Net Zero carbon  by 2030 across London’s Further Education Colleges
• Review current plans to identify gaps in jobs and skills, funding, and explore opportunities for collaboration

We are pleased to share the resources from this project more widely.

A series of four workshops presentations were delivered including tools, resources and case studies for FE colleges on their Net-Zero journey and the skills required. These workshops included: 
 

• Workshop 1 - What is Net-Zero and how this project will help your college on your Net-Zero journey
• Workshop 2 - FE Leadership and Governance
• Workshop 3 - Skills planning for Net-Zero FE Colleges
• Workshop 4 - Get me to Net-Zero

To support your institution's journey to Net-Zero further, please visit funding sources, a list of sustainability funding opportunities available for universities and colleges.
