The course covers:

• Climate justice and the benefits of taking action.
• The UN Sustainable Development Goals.
• The National and International context.
• Calculating carbon footprints.
• Case studies of how libraries are acting to cut carbon emissions.
• How libraries can support sustainable communities.
• Space to develop your own actions to cut carbon emissions

Throughout the course you will be encouraged to share your own experience and ideas and at the end of the day you will be supported to commit to actions relevant to you and your organisation. This course has been validated by the Carbon Literacy Trust and learners will gain carbon literacy certification on completion of the participant evidence form.

This course is for librarians and information managers from all sectors.
