Carbon Literacy Training

The training session will cover:

• The science behind climate change
• What it means to be net zero carbon
• How we can achieve net zero as a society
• How we can achieve net zero as an industry
• What we can do as individuals, both in our own lives and within our organisations

The training has been developed and will be delivered by Jamie Saye, a certified Carbon Literacy trainer. The course has been developed by Jamie and checked and approved for delivery by the Carbon Literacy project.

The training session will be split into 3 parts:

• Part 1: self-guided learning on the science behind climate change (approx 3.5 hours)
• Part 2: Zoom call with Jamie on what action is already being taken nationally and within the cultural industries (1.5 hours)
• Part 3: Zoom call with Jamie on what actions we can take as individuals, within organisations or any other setting (1.5 hours)

At the end of the training session, each participant will then complete a participant details form where they will pledge 2 actions that they are going to take as a result of the training.

Each participant will then be awarded with a uniquely numbered certificate awarded by the Carbon Literacy project which certifies that the learner is a Carbon Literate citizen.
