Carbon Literacy Project
Students and staff at Keele University have the opportunity to become Carbon Literate.
Since declaring a Climate Emergency, Keele has been working to create an action plan to underpin the commitment to be carbon neutral by 2030.
Carbon Literacy is relevant climate change learning that leads to positivity and action towards reducing carbon emissions. The Carbon Literacy Project works to provide you with access to this learning so that you can become certified as Carbon Literate.
What is Carbon Literacy?
“An awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.”
More than just small personal changes, Carbon Literacy highlights the need for substantial change and supports you, as an individual, to have a cascade effect on a much wider audience – whether it’s in your workplace, community, school, university, place of worship, or another setting.
"If there is one training you do this coming year it needs to be this one... it will change the way you think!"
"One of the best workshops in Keele University."
"The presenter was excellent and really knew their topic. The structure of the program is really about moving people to action rather than education about the basics."
"Being Carbon Literate is a great step to take if they are interested in climate change or helping the planet. Anyone at Keele University is able to complete these workshops and it is definitely a step forward in the right direction with becoming more knowledgeable and involved in our own carbon footprint."
"It's a great training initiative and collaborative exercise to do with others to learn and empower yourself against the tackles ahead."
"It gives you lots of information that can be used in social and home life as well as in work scenarios."
