Carbon Literate Localities Logo

Manchester Carbon Literate City (MCLC) is an initiative bringing together:

  • people that live, work or study in Manchester;
  • organisations that are based in Manchester.

They collaborate on their Carbon Literacy journey with the aim of collectively achieving registered Carbon Literate Locality status for the city.

 

With a foundational target for the number of Carbon Literate people needed to achieve this status, this initiative is delivered and championed by all those who belong within the locality who:

  • become Carbon Literate;
  • are engaging and inspiring others to become Carbon Literate;
  • publicly show their commitment to driving a meaningful low-carbon
    culture shift across the city.

This initiative is proudly co-ordinated by Manchester City Council.
