Carbon Literacy training

Reducing carbon impact is critical to accelerate change towards a sustainable world. It all starts with being Carbon Literate.

What is Carbon Literacy?

Carbon Literacy is an awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions on an individual, community and organisational basis.

Carbon Literacy training is a day’s worth of learning, developed by The Carbon Literacy Project. It provides the knowledge required to create a positive shift in how humanity lives, works and behaves in response to climate change. Ecosurety has been a certified Carbon Literate Organisation (CLO) since 2023 and achieved CLO Gold status in 2025.

So far, over 143,000 people have been certified as Carbon Literate after completing the training and making meaningful pledges for action. Come and join the movement.
