Climate Literacy Training
We are pleased to announce that Climate Literacy Training will launch on the 30th of September 2024!
This training will provide a fundamental awareness of how our way of living is having an impact on the planet, and how we can make a difference by reducing those impacts. It will be available to all staff and students.
There are two certificates available:
Classic – entirely asynchronous online training delivered via Moodle, comprising of six units. Estimated 10-15 hours to complete. Assessed by a quiz at the end of the course. This does not need to be completed in one day. The Classic Certificate is a prerequisite for the Gold Certificate.
Gold – in person 2-hour workshop, which will involve discussing communicating about climate change and creating climate action plans. This session will allow you to network with others who have completed the Classic Certificate.
The units which make up the course are:
Unit 1: Basic Concepts
Unit 2: Impacts of Climate Change and Climate Justice
Unit 3: Impact across Different Sectors
Unit 4: From International Commitments to Local Action
Unit 5: Individual Action
Unit 6: Communicating Climate Change: Tips and Challenges
