Carbon Literacy Action Day

The annual International Carbon Literacy Action Day is the world’s largest climate education and action training event of its kind. From every corner of the globe, thousands of people of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities will unite to undergo their day’s worth of Carbon Literacy training, catalysing action on climate change and delivering positive change wherever they are.

The Action Day 2025 will coincide with COP30 – the pinnacle climate event of the year. So, while world leaders gather to discuss and negotiate on climate policy in Belém, Brazil, Carbon Literacy learners will be on-the-ground learning, collaborating and becoming empowered to act and drive impactful, tangible change.

The Action Day is fully inclusive and open to all, and on November 13th we will witness thousands of people from all walks of life, sectors, genders, ages and nations all around the world, participate and complete their days’ worth of Carbon Literacy training.

Joining the Action Day offers you and your group or organisation the chance to deepen your understanding of climate change and take immediate, meaningful action to combat the climate crisis. As an international event, you will have the opportunity to experience the incredible breadth and diversity of Carbon Literacy as people from all backgrounds and countries unite to complete their training and drive change within their communities and beyond.

This year, use the Action Day as a springboard to generate increased levels of Carbon Literacy and inspire greater climate action in your organisation, community, or way of life, and demonstrate your commitment to helping create a safe and liveable future. Once formally certified as Carbon Literate, learners will be awarded a unique Action Day certificate to mark their impact.

On the Action Day, Carbon Literacy training will take place in locations all around the world. As training finishes throughout the day, organisations will share their final figures and results from their training, and we will tally those all-important numbers, learn the impact that the global Carbon Literacy community has had, and calculate the estimated carbon savings as a result.

At 5pm GMT on 13th November, we will commence our Action Day World Tour Webinar – a 90-minute online event where training providers from all around the world can join together in one ‘room’ to reflect on the day. We will virtually journey to global training venues where training providers will share their experiences and stories, as well as climate commitments made by leaners from the catalytic training day.

Just like Carbon Literacy itself, the Carbon Literacy Action Day is for anyone and everyone – no matter whether you are an individual, represent a community or belong to an organisation.

We already have a huge range of organisations from a breadth of sectors including, Education, Local Authorities, Culture, Healthcare, Automotive, Communities, SMEs and many more, that will be participating in the Action Day.

To get involved in the Action Day, all you have to do is deliver or join an Action Day course.

For a training programme to qualify for the Action Day, it must end between Monday 10th – Thursday 13th November by 11.59 pm. While CLAD culminates on the 13th November, and we encourage as many training providers as possible to schedule training for this intended record-breaking day, we’ve extended the event to 4 days so that everyone who wants to can be part of the CLAD success.

Just like Carbon Literacy itself, there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to taking part in the Action Day. You can get involved in any way that suits you, your organisation or your community.

To find out more information about how you can get involved this year, we’ve come up with the following five pathways to help you figure out what you can do to take part .
