Climate Leadership Training

COURSE OVERVIEW

The training is split into the following sections:

• Unit 1: The Science

  • This unit covers the science behind greenhouse gas emissions and man-made climate change. We understand how we know that climate change is man-made and the resulting impacts climate change is having on our planet.

• Unit 2: Carbon Footprints

  • In this unit we understand the complexities that make up carbon footprints for individuals and organisations and how we can meaningfully reduce emissions.

• Unit 3: Climate Leadership

  • We learn why climate leadership in business is crucial to reaching Net Zero, the tools to become an effective climate leader & why it makes business sense as well as ethical sense to become a climate leader today.

• Unit 4: Mindfulness and Empowerment

  • This unit takes the form of an interactive workshop where we implement learning from the previous unit’s before learning why it’s important to consider mental wellbeing and empowerment when tackling a threat as existential as the climate crisis.

OUR MISSION.

At CLT, our mission is for the whole world to become carbon literate - a pretty big aim!

The reason we aim so high is because we understand how fragile the state of the planet is due to climate change, how much damage we are facing/set to face and how little time we have before the damage done is irreversible. To achieve the change necessary, we need a global effort.

Robin has 4 much younger siblings who will all be alive come the year 2100. Currently, most of the worlds focus is what the world will look like in 2050. Many current future forecasts for 2050 look bleak to say the least - but this pales in comparison when looking to 2100. We do not seek to be in any way alarmist at CLT but the simple fact of the matter is that without significant emissions reductions in the next decade, life as we know it may never be the same again - Robin, like everyone else, wants a happy and healthy future for his younger siblings.

Carbon Literacy is crucial to our future existence and happiness. It provides an awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions to avoid climate change. This sort of awareness is being taught more and more to young people in schools - but the sad irony is that by the time these young people are old enough to implement their learning, it may be too late.

Our belief at CLT is that carbon literacy is a skill that every adult should have access to, just as every adult should be taught how to read and write. Our reasons for creating a training course in carbon literacy and climate leadership for business leaders and future leaders is influence. Business leaders are in positions where they can influence multiple areas (people, place, practice, policy, position, planning) and…they are leaders! Their position is one where enabling others to deliver a mutual goal and vision is paramount. Our training therefore is for anyone who leads or has the ambition to lead in business or their personal life - meaning it is applicable to CEO’s, management, supervisors or new employees.
