the Impact You Can Make

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues we face. The journey towards a sustainable future begins with understanding our carbon footprint and learning how to reduce it.

Our Carbon Literacy Workshops are designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to make a real difference.

Whether you're an individual looking to make greener choices, a business aiming to boost sustainability, or an educator seeking to inspire the next generation, our workshops are key to prepare yourself for the next stage:

A low-carbon, low-impact, and regenerative civilisation.

The urgent need for carbon literacy

Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it's a current reality. The effects of global warming are evident in extreme weather patterns, rising sea levels, and dwindling natural resources.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), human activities have already caused approximately 1.2°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels, and this could reach 1.5°C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues at the current rate.

Enhance your reputation

Understanding the carbon emissions associated with our daily activities is crucial.

Carbon literacy is the knowledge of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions on an individual, community, and organisational basis.

Employee engagement & retention

Here’s what you can expect:
  • Basics of Carbon Literacy: Understand what carbon literacy means and why it is essential
