About this Event
Become part of something bigger this Carbon Literacy Action Day (CLAD) by registering for our exclusive CLAD training events. The courses take place on the 4th December in line with the awareness day, where this year, The Carbon Literacy Project has set a target of training 1000 individuals on the day and each certified Carbon Literate learner will receive a limited CLAD edition certificate.
In the interests of creating our own positive impact during CLAD, Positive Planet has decided to deliver four training sessions in four nations simultaneously to broaden Carbon Literacy awareness around the UK. This series of events will be in line with this year's CLAD theme of Bigger, Better, Bolder. With limited availability, register for a CLAD event and be part of the movement.
Join the Positive Planet team, for an informative and interactive Carbon Literacy Certified training course, a qualification recognised by the United Nations. Carbon Literacy training provides organisations with an awareness of the climate-related costs and impacts of their activities and the ability and motivation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
