Climate Emergency Training: Winter 2024 Course

This training is for anyone interested in increasing their knowledge and understanding of the Climate Emergency, and who wants to understand more about changes which will have a positive impact.

As with all of our accredited Climate Emergency Training, the course has gone through a rigorous assessment process with the Carbon Literacy Project, so you can be assured of quality. And participants completing the course have the opportunity to go forwards to be certified as Carbon Literate.

Organisations sometimes choose to send a small number of employees onto this course, before working with us to create a course customised to their own area of work and business needs.

About the training

This training is eight hours of learning and takes place over four weeks. Each week involves an hour-long online session led by our expert trainers, followed by some self-study tasks to be completed before the next session.

The course is split into four modules:

1. An introduction to climate change (25 January)
2. Climate impacts and adaptation (1 February) 
3. Reducing emissions (8 February) 
4. Climate action and communication (15 February)

To be eligible to go forwards and be certified as Carbon Literate you need to attend all four sessions, and complete the self-study tasks.

We keep the training class size to a maximum of 15 participants, to allow for group interaction and discussion.
