Understanding the importance of reducing carbon emissions isn’t limited to sustainability departments or environmental committees — it’s something that everyone should feel confident in knowing and talking about. Carbon Literacy training is a great way for climate action to be explained, explored and embedded into our everyday lives, whether at work or at home.

During Carbon Literacy training, we bring people together in an open learning environment that encourages collaboration and engagement. We guide the conversation around what climate change means, current responses and solutions, and the importance of communication and positivity. Then we’ll look at the things we could each do differently, identify opportunities for change, and make an individual and a group pledge to take action. In doing so, we help develop a positive culture around climate action.

At Menzies, we offer a Carbon Literacy Masterclass which is accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project. The 8-hour training incorporates a Climate Fresk workshop (which maps out the relationships between climate issues in a fun and engaging way). Training is available in person or online.

Organisations who have undergone Carbon Literacy training benefit from:

• A better understanding of climate change
• Engaged and empowered employees
• Insights into reducing emissions
• A pledge to take action that encourages ownership
• Recorded CPD training hours
