Course Overview
Carbon Literacy Training provides a practical introduction to climate science, carbon emissions, and the role individuals and organisations play in addressing climate change. Designed as a mentor-led experience, the course focuses on real-world scenarios to help learners understand how emissions are generated and measured across different activities and sectors.
Participants explore Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and how these apply in both personal and organisational contexts. The course bridges theory and practice by examining everyday decisions, operational processes, and supply chain considerations that contribute to carbon footprints.
Aligned with the Carbon Literacy Project framework, this training also prepares learners to take meaningful action. Through guided activities and structured reflection, participants develop actionable pledges and behaviour change strategies that support sustainability goals and organisational commitments.
