What you will learn
CAT’s Zero Carbon Britain project offers the hard data and confidence required for visualising a future where we have risen to the demands of climate science. It helps to reduce fear and misunderstandings and open new, positive, solutions-focused conversations.
This Carbon Literacy Project accredited course will explore the solutions offered by the Zero Carbon Britain end point vision. Drawing on case studies and real-life examples, we’ll look at practical steps to reach net zero from a local business perspective.
During the course you’ll commit to two carbon reducing actions. These actions will be evaluated by the Carbon Literacy Project in order for you to be accredited as Carbon Literate, a pre-requisite for training others in your area or sector.
This training is suitable for all who work in or with local businesses – as individuals or as part of groups, organisations, networks etc. Across the day there will be timetabled discussion and reflection and Q&A sessions.
