Manchester Carbon Literate City
Manchester Carbon Literate City
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.
