Climate Literacy training to tackle the climate crisis and promote climate solutions

Are you concerned about the climate crisis? Are you concerned about how businesses and societies will be affected by the climate crisis and want to find out ways you could still mitigate the risks? Do you want to link the Covid-19-recovery with a transition to a low-carbon economy addressing social inequalities simultaneously?

This training was developed by Nottingham Business School (Nottingham Trent University) in collaboration with the UN PRME Champions, Oikos International, Manchester Metropolitan University and the Carbon Literacy Project.
The aim of this project is to get academics, students and others Carbon Literate within a short time frame and to get as many people as possible actively involved in embedding climate solutions in their own life and work. In order to do so we have chosen a train-the-trainer approach, so we will offer regional events inviting all the universities and business schools in the vicinity to train academics and students there so that they can become trainers in their own institution and/or involved in training other in other regions of the world. We will also use conferences to train academics and others so that they can then become facilitators in their own home institution and also in their home country if they choose to do so.

By taking part in this training, you will gain an understanding of:

• The basic science behind the climate crisis
• The impact different sectors such as food have on our climate and vice versa
• Climate Change mitigation tools for your discipline or/and function
• Solutions with the highest impact
• Strategies and skills for communicating and/or teaching climate actions
• Your personal possibilities to take action privately and in your current/ future role
