Launched last year, the Isle of Man Government has been rolling out accredited Carbon Literacy Training – a course developed for the Isle of Man Public Service in conjunction with the Carbon Literacy Project and UK civil service and delivered by their training partners, Isle of Man-based social enterprise, Earthscope.
The training aims to give an understanding of carbon costs and the impact of everyday activities, while highlighting the urgency and scale of change needed to address the climate crisis.
More than 400 people have now completed the training. Amongst them are Tynwald members, senior leaders, and our Lieutenant Governor. And its impact? Of those submitting post-course feedback – 90% felt more motivated to act and 80% more able to act for climate.
The training was developed to help Public Bodies deliver their duties under the Climate Act 2021 – maximising benefit in our communities, economy and environment, whilst reducing emissions.
