What is Carbon Literacy?

At its core, Carbon Literacy is about gaining the knowledge and skills necessary to make everyday choices that positively impact the climate. It’s an understanding of how carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases influence climate change, and more importantly, what we can do about it.

This training is more than just theory; it’s about translating understanding into meaningful, real-world action.

Key Learning Outcomes in Our Training:

  • The Science Behind Climate Change:
    • Grasp the fundamental concepts of climate science.
    • Understand how human activities influence climate change
  • Carbon Footprint Comprehension
    • Learn what a Carbon Footprint is, and the difference between Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions
    • Identify the most significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in the cultural and creative sectors
  • Strategies for Carbon Reduction:
    • Discover ways to reduce carbon emissions in your daily life and within your organisation or creative practice
    • Explore sustainable practices tailored for the creative and cultural industries.
  • Action Planning and Implementation:
    • Develop practical and achievable plans to implement carbon-reducing actions.

By participating in SAIL’s Carbon Literacy Training, you’re not just learning about climate change; you’re becoming part of a vital movement towards sustainability. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions and advocate for change, influencing your surroundings towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.

Climate change is not a distant threat – it’s a present challenge. As stewards of creativity and culture, we have the power to lead by example and forge a path towards a zero carbon/zero waste future. Your participation is crucial in this transformative journey.

Carbon Literacy Action Day

The annual International Carbon Literacy Action Day is the world’s largest climate education and action training event of its kind. From every corner of the globe, thousands of people of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities will unite to undergo their day’s worth of Carbon Literacy training, catalysing action on climate change and delivering positive change wherever they are.

The Action Day 2024 will coincide with COP29 – the pinnacle climate event of the year. So, while world leaders gather to discuss and negotiate on climate policy in Azerbaijan, Carbon Literacy learners will be on-the-ground learning, collaborating and becoming empowered to act and drive impactful, tangible change.

The Action Day is fully inclusive and open to all, and on November 14th we will witness thousands of people from all walks of life, sectors, genders, ages and nations all around the world, participate and complete their days’ worth of Carbon Literacy training.
