This course is for students and staff of Universities and Further Education Colleges, and if completed leads to accreditation by the Carbon Literacy Project. The course can be adapted for a specific University and location, to include its organisational footprint, and net zero policies. By the end of it participants will understand the basic concepts of climate change – including its causes and impacts – and the quickest ways for individuals and organisations to reduce their carbon emissions. They will also be empowered to talk to others about climate change. The course is pledge based, and to get accredited each participant must commit to two significant carbon reduction actions within their own control.The course uses interactive games / exercises and provides plenty of opportunity for discussion.
Formats: the full course is 8 hours long; this can be delivered in two half-day workshops or in three shorter workshops.
