What Does Accredited Carbon Literacy Training Cover?

Each Lead With Sustainability accredited Carbon Literacy Project training course is tailored to the specific sector and/or workplace of the client. Through a mix of videos, activities, presentations and breakout rooms, we discuss the urgency and importance of acting on climate change in an engaging and enlightening way.

Lead With Sustainability’s certified Carbon Literacy training starts by setting the background to the day. The objectives and assessment criteria for achieving certified Carbon Literacy are explained. We then watch a video clip about climate change and discuss the documentary watched as pre-course homework.

This is followed by an exploration of the difference between weather and climate and the science of climate change. We then discuss recent and future impacts on the UK and worldwide.

The first module ends by exploring the inequity of climate change: who is affected most and how fair this really is.

People have known about the issues of burning fossil fuels for more than 100 years. Replacement solutions are available which are cheaper, healthier and far less damaging to the planet.

In the second part of the course, we look at terminology, UK and worldwide policies, and the impacts these are having on our workplaces, now and in the future.

We also explore the co benefits of climate action, including, health, finance, community and more. This helps us see how acting on climate change provides multiple benefits to our businesses – often leading to substantial cost savings too.

We also look at ways we can reduce our emissions in food, transport and at home.

The third section examines emissions in our sector (business, built environment, transport, civil service). We focus on areas with the biggest potential for change. The course covers market-leading innovations, circularity, Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, and driving change through value chains.

This section is extremely practical – so trainees think about their role and how they can make a difference. That may be around saving costs, staying compliant or building market-leading innovations to keep your business ahead.

The final part brings everything together. Exploring ways to increase and improve discussions about climate change, and developing significant work-related actions to drive change.

Each attendee spends time creating their initial actions for influencing their workplace emissions (or personal lives if they’re currently unemployed). Carbon Literacy certification asks that we commit to at least two significant actions and these are items we can deliver for ourselves.
