Carbon Literacy Training

Published: 12 August 2024

Are you and your business interested in learning more about your impact on the planet?

The WMCA worked with the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games to create an offer of Carbon Literacy training to anyone across the West Midlands, as part of the Games’ sustainability ambition to create a carbon neutral legacy for the region. 

Carbon Literacy training is developed to empower you to make a positive impact on climate change and help to influence others around you to drive action. The training is a fantastic opportunity for you and your business staff to gain a free certification and gain a better understand of climate change and action required. The training is available to anyone that lives or works in the West Midlands. 

Why complete the Carbon Literacy training?
