Are you concerned about the climate crisis? Are you concerned about how your institution and society will be affected by the climate crisis and want to find out ways you could still mitigate the risks?

The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges we are currently facing, and it will affect all aspects of business and society and all other areas we might be concerned about such as poverty or loss of biodiversity.

Consequently, graduates and employees with the know-how in tackling environmental and social issues to cope with future challenges have a competitive advantage in the job market.By taking part in this training, you will gain an understanding of:
•The basic science behind the climate crisis
•The impact different sectors such as food have on our climate and vice versa
•Climate Change mitigation tools for your discipline or/and function
•Solutions with the highest impact
•Strategies and skills for communicating and/or teaching climate actions
•Your personal possibilities to take action privately and in your current/ future role

You will also receive a full certificate issued by The Carbon Literacy Trust in Manchester.

EAUC are pleased to be working in partnership to promote Carbon Literacy, and plan to run several events over the next few months. This training was developed by Nottingham Business School (Nottingham Trent University) in collaboration with the Carbon Literacy Project; UN PRME Champions and Oikos International.

The aim of this project is to get academics, students and other employees of Universities Carbon Literate within a short time frame and to get as many people as possible actively involved in embedding climate solutions in their own life and work. In order to do so we will be making the course materials available to all attendees once they have received their certification.
