Carbon Literacy - A first step in responding to the climate crisis

It is now widely recognised that we are facing a climate crisis, with an urgent need to take strong action and achieve net zero emissions to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Developing a zero carbon culture is therefore critical to meeting climate targets, where enhancing climate literacy is a first step on this pathway.
