The Carbon Literacy Project: Climate Change learning for everyone.

Welcome! The latest news from The Carbon Literacy Project...

 "Climate change does not respect borders; it does not respect who you are - rich and poor, small and big. Therefore, it is what we call 'global challenges,' which require global solidarity."
~ Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations
 
Patagonia Action Works
 

International outdoor apparel company Patagonia, has launched Patagonia Action Works in the UK - a digital platform that connects its community with local grassroots organisations working to save the planet. The Europe-wide launch follows the huge success of the platform in North America, where it has seen half a million people take action to support environmental issues.

Global Climate Strike

Friday the 20th of September saw the biggest global call to action the world has yet seen on climate change, led by the world's youth demanding deeper and faster action. Over a million citizens in cities all over the world turned out to protest against inaction and demand change. The many organisations involved chose to support the strike in different ways.

A UNIQUE PROJECT

The Carbon Literacy Project is a unique project, working with everyone who lives, works or studies, to offer a day's worth of training to the Carbon Literacy Standard. Once Carbon Literate, we have an instinctive understanding of the carbon impacts of our activities, are able to make informed choices, and, driven by the urgency, act positively to address climate change.
