EAUC are pleased to be working in partnership to promote Carbon Literacy training, and plan to run several events over the next few months.

The training was developed by Green Gown Award winners Manchester Metropolitan University and is certified by the Carbon Literacy Project.

The aim of this project is to get staff (academics and professional services) and students of Universities Carbon Literate within a short time frame - and most importantly 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.
