What is Carbon Literacy® for Local Authorities?
The Carbon Literacy Toolkit for Local Authorities comprises of a suite of flexible and adaptable resources to engage and empower your team on climate change, developing a low-carbon culture across your local authority. With a third of the UK’s emissions directly influenced by local authority practice, policy and partnerships, local authorities have a vital role to play in the UK’s decarbonisation. The Local Authorities Toolkit embeds climate action at all levels of your local authority; enabling cross-departmental knowledge building, collaboration and empowerment to achieve Net Zero targets.
How Carbon Literacy can help your local authority meet climate goals
Three-quarters of local authorities have now declared a climate emergency. The Local Authorities Toolkit provides your staff with the necessary knowledge and skills to implement impactful measures within all operations of local authorities. The practical, solution-focused content of the Toolkit helps identify examples of carbon reduction across the sector, whilst group activities provide an opportunity to work together with other professionals within the sector to develop new ideas.
By sharing and showcasing best practice, knowledge and expertise, colleagues can make informed decisions to address the scale and urgency of the climate emergency. Learners will leave the training with tangible and clear ideas on the methods through which they can directly reduce carbon emissions within their workplace and across the sector.
