Training

Carbon Literacy is a six-hour, online training course which provides an introduction to Carbon, helping people understand the language, science, policy, and actions around carbon and the path to net zero.

The course covers an understanding of CO2e, climate justice, co-benefits of carbon action, and policy both in the UK and globally.

HB&P is able to offer training for both heritage organisations and museums, with the different courses containing case studies, information, and inspiration unique to the sector.

The online course itself is action-focused, with many interactive opportunities for questions, discussion in breakout rooms, and interaction with films and quizzes.

At the end of the course, all participants are asked to make two pledges of actions which will reduce carbon within their organisation. Upon completing their pledges, and them being accepted by the Carbon Literacy Trust, each participant will gain certification to show that they are carbon literate.

The Carbon Literacy courses are delivered in partnership with the Carbon Literacy Project. For more information, please visit https://carbonliteracy.com/.

“The trainer (HB&P) was brilliant, engaging, and interesting, and despite a scary and depressing topic, made me feel upbeat and like I had agency – thanks, that was awesome, and I feel I can now do even more and make a difference.” – Participant from a Heritage Organisation

HB&P brings to the carbon literacy training all its experience of being a National Amenity Society, as well as a deep understanding of the changes faced in the heritage and museum sectors.

As part of the team who developed the Heritage course, this knowledge has been ingrained into the training and is brought to life by working directly with the HB&P team.
