SUMMARY:Two Part Accredited Climate Emergency Training
DESCRIPTION:Our two-part programme provides you with a certificate in carbon literacy\, giving you the knowledge and skills you’ll need to identify where you can make changes; changes to help your business be more cost-efficient and better prepared to meet both customer expectations and new regulations\, in a net-zero Scotland. \nPlease Note: Both sessions plus self-study must be completed to be eligible for certification\, so please ensure you can commit to both dates – 2nd and 9th August; 10:00 – 12:30. \nAbout the course \nThis free online training is certified by The Carbon Literacy Project and delivered by their official partner in Scotland\, Keep Scotland Beautiful. \nYou will learn about the challenges of the climate emergency and be provided with effective tools to take back into your organisation\, to help create focus on sustainability and decarbonisation. \nWhat is carbon literacy and why is it important to me? \nCarbon Literacy is the knowledge and capacity required to create a positive shift in how mankind lives\, works and behaves in response to climate change. The Carbon Literacy Project’s definition of it is: \n‘An awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions\, on an individual\, community and organisational basis.’ \nIt’s important because a shift is already happening amongst consumers and businesses\, as they look for reassurance from retailers and suppliers that efforts are being made towards sustainability and minimising carbon emissions. Not only will it be important for organisations to be able to provide that reassurance to customers but soon\, regulations will be introduced that will need to be met legally. \nBeing carbon literate means you will be better equipped to help your organisation identify where changes might be required\, what changes can realistically be made\, and find opportunities to make your organisation more resilient and responsive to the impacts of climate change. With a plan in place\, ready to be implemented\, your organisation can continue to attract sales from customers in a world where expectations will be high. \nWhat will I get out of the course? \nAfter around 8 hours of learning (see course structure below)\, you will be eligible for an individual Certrificate in Carbon Literacy\, independently verified by The Carbon Literacy Project. \nYou will find the training empowers you to take practical action on climate change and develop skills and experience you can apply in the workplace\, no matter what your role or what level of an organisation you work at.  If you and your organisation are in the early stages of considering your climate change impacts and planning for net-zero\, this training provides a fantastic opportunity to get you started. \nCourse structure \nThe training uses a mix of delivery methods over two weeks\, including live\, interactive webinars and self-study. The total time commitment for the course is 7-8 hours of learning\, structured as follows: \nSession One – 2.5hr online workshopAn introduction to climate change\nClimate impacts and adaptation\nSession Two – 2.5hr online workshopReducing emissions\nClimate action and communication\nSelf-study material between the sessions \nBy the end of the course\, you will: \nUnderstand the basic science and impacts of climate change\nKnow what’s being done locally\, nationally and internationally\nBe able to identify impacts\, risks and opportunities for Scotland\nBe able to reflect on your organisation/sector’s role and what you can do
