As a society, we all of us need to understand the impact of our carbon use and its consequences.
And the publication of the Department for Education’s sustainability and climate change policy paper (DfE, 2023) has brought the issues of carbon emissions and sustainability to the fore in schools.
The Carbon Literacy training helps us understand the carbon costs of our decisions – whether it is in the choices we make daily or in the changes we need to reduce emissions.
This is crucial in schools and nurseries, as not only does the education sector create 36% of the UK’s public sector emissions, but embedding this knowledge at an early age will ensure a fully carbon-responsible next generation.
