Happy New Year from The CLP
2017 was quite a year for The Carbon Literacy Project. We’ve worked with many fantastic, passionate individuals, including volunteers and trainers, to bring about our most successful year to date!
We’ve had close to a 50% increase in the number of certified Carbon Literate individuals, the total rolling over into 2018 standing at 6986!
We’ve also welcomed 5 CL Organisations, 2 CL Facilitators, 10 CL Trainers, and 2 CL Consultants to our accredited Carbon Literacy family.
Additionally, in 2017 we’ve –
- Introduced a new accreditation scheme for Carbon Literacy Training Organisations (CLTO’s),
- Created the ‘Course Kit’ to help you design your own course,
- Started the Salford CL consortium, led by Cllr Paul Dennett.
