Carbon Literacy® is accredited climate change learning that leads to impactful action towards reducing carbon emissions. More than just small personal changes, Carbon Literacy highlights the need for substantial change and supports you, as an individual, to have a cascade effect on a much wider audience. Carbon Literacy Training is delivered in two parts, and attendance to both is mandatory for certification.

Does sustainability have a place in every subject, or is it only relevant to certain disciplines? We invite both staff and students to join in with this interactive discussion exploring the role of sustainability in higher education. Consider how sustainability connects to your course, discover how the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relate to different fields of study and help shape a Theory of Change for embedding sustainability into all degree courses at Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é. We'd love to have everyone join in the conversation - your perspective matters.

In this engaging workshop, we will discuss the concepts of intersectionality and climate justice in the lens of sustainability. We will facilitate a safe space for all to have conversations about these concepts. For example, we will consider how intersectionality affects people and communities, and how fighting for climate justice can help us work towards building a more sustainable future. Please note that this workshop will involve discussions around some potentially triggering topics such as colonialism, racism and discrimination.

Curious about green careers and the future of work? Join this interactive workshop to explore what makes a job “green”, the skills employers are looking for, and the trends creating new opportunities across the world of work.
