Short course spotlight: Zero Carbon Britain: Carbon Literacy for the Housing Sector
Share on social
Explore climate solutions, create an action plan for you and your work, and gain Carbon Literate certification on our online course.
Specifically developed for those working in the social housing sector, and suitable for all types of roles, this online course will cover the science of climate change, local and global impacts and how these will affect the work and duties of housing providers.
Drawing on CAT’s research on how we can create a Zero Carbon Britain, the course looks at low carbon objectives in the housing sector, and helps participants create a plan for actions they can take, including how they might influence others to create change.
Using case studies and real life examples from around the UK, we’ll look at practical steps to reach net zero from a social housing and community perspective.

Across the day there will be timetabled discussion and reflection sessions, Q&As, networking and offline breaks to keep the online format refreshing and engaging. During the course you’ll commit to two carbon reducing actions – one as an individual and one that will influence a group of individuals. We encourage these to be work-based in order to support a wider shift within the housing sector. Participants’ output is evaluated by the Carbon Literacy Project, and successful completion will lead to Carbon Literate certification, enabling you to go on to train others in your area of work to share knowledge and maximise impact.
This course is delivered by the team from CAT’s Zero Carbon Britain Hub and Innovation Lab, which supports councils, communities and other organisations to act on the climate and biodiversity emergency.
This training is also offered as a bespoke course for teams or groups of people working together – please get in touch to arrange a date to suit you.
