Carbon Literacy

Carbon Literacy is relevant climate change learning that catalyses action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Carbon Literacy Project works to provide access to this learning to everyone across the UK and beyond.

The Carbon Literacy Project is based on the key aim that if we are to cut our carbon emissions by the kind of reductions demanded of us by science, then we will need to change culture alongside technology. Carbon Literacy training is offered through workplaces, educational institutions and communities.

Elevate delivers Carbon Literacy Project accredited training and is the world's first Carbon Literate business development organisation. Graduates are certified as Carbon Literate following completion of the course and submission of pledges to reduce ther carbon footprints. We run open courses for mixed cohorts, or can run sessions specifically for your organisation.

We also work with businesses to co-create bespoke courses enabling you to become a Carbon Literate Organisation.

Then this training course is for you! Over the course of the day we will cover: what climate change is and how we know it is real; the current and projected impacts of climate change; what needs to be done locally, nationally and internationally; climate justice; how organisations can reduce their environmental impact; and the links between carbon reduction and the economy

It is an interactive session invites participants to share thoughts and experiences in a safe, respectful environment. Following the course, you will be asked to make carbon reduction pledges and will be accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project.

It is also possible for businesses to be accredited as Carbon Literate Organisations (“CLOs”) to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. This involves a the creation of a bespoke course, taking a percentage of employees through the course and committing to carbon reduction activity.

Elevate can design and deliver a bespoke course, support you through the accreditation process and connect you with organisations to support your sustainability journey.
