Climate Emergency Training

Our online Climate Emergency Training is eight hours of learning over four weeks. Each week involves an hour-long online session led by one of our expert trainers, followed by some self-study tasks to be completed before the next session.

The course covers:

• The basics of climate change science and how we know it’s a problem
• How climate change is impacting us all now and how it will in the future
• What's being done to tackle climate change at a variety of levels; locally, nationally and internationally
• Ways that you and your organisation can take action to reduce emissions
• How having a Carbon Literate workforce could benefit your organisation

The training costs £100 plus VAT.
