Carbon Literacy Training

The effects of climate change are being felt in different ways around the globe - floods; droughts; severe and record heatwaves and cold snaps; increased and devastating thunderstorms/cyclones; rising sea levels; melting ice caps; warming oceans.  Mitigating these effects will require a concerted, collaborative effort - from all sectors of the global community. Starting with you, the individual.

Delivered by our passionate team at the School of Business and Law and certified by the Carbon Literacy Project, UK, this course is part of a global movement to educate, engage and help change behaviour around the world in addressing climate change.
