Trainer Directory

Why Use Trainers?

One of the key features of Carbon Literacy is that training is delivered by peers – pupil to pupil or by regular teachers in schools and colleges, by workmates, colleagues or peers in the workplace, or by friends and neighbours in the place you live.

However, sometimes this is not entirely possible on its own, and you and your organisation may need support or need external assistance to do this. There is, therefore, an expanding group of Carbon Literacy trainers who can assist you in the development and customisation of your Carbon Literacy training, or help you to deliver it.

You can contact these trainers and organisations directly from the directory below, or Contact Us if you would like further information.

CLCs – Individuals who have the most experience of developing and delivering multiple CL courses to a range of organisations.

CLTs – Individuals who have a breadth of CL training experience, most of whom have also developed a CL course.

CLFs – Individuals who help to deliver and administer CL courses within their organisation.

The individuals listed below are those who are certified to either CLT or CLC, and who are open to training opportunities.

James Cadman heads up Action Sustainability’s Consultancy team. He has worked in product sustainability and sustainable procurement for more 20 years, having worked at AEA Technology and ERM prior to Action Sustainability. James’ work is focused on understanding the sustainability impacts that products have through their life cycles and applying that to supply chain sustainability initiatives. He has led many projects on developing sustainable procurement policies, devising product standards and guidance, and undertaking carbon footprinting in order to improve product and market sustainability performance. Past clients include the likes of Network Rail, Unilever, Tesco, IKEA, Vodafone, and Defra.

With the ever-present push to drive carbon emissions down as we work towards net zero, James is active with consultancy clients in measuring carbon, developing strategic approaches to reduction, and implementing them. This is usually combined with delivering sustainable procurement outcomes. You will also often see and hear him deliver carbon training through the Supply Chain Sustainability School.

James was inspired to have a career in sustainability following the Bhopal and Exxon Valdez disasters, among other high-profile incidents, to the point of undertaking a PhD where he researched methods for removing industrial pollution from water. He has been passionate ever since about environmental issues and can often be found ‘urban guerrilla’ tree planting around Oxfordshire to make his own contribution to carbon sequestration. And when he’s not planting trees he enjoys growing veg at his allotment – all local, organic and fair trade!

Michael has an MBA from the University of Leicester and is the Executive Director and Lead Trainer of ZuriPlanet, a Social Enterprise based in Nairobi, Kenya. ZuriPlanet provides Sustainability Advisory Services focused on aligning businesses of all types with environmental, social and governance (ESG) best-in-class practices.

ZuriPlanet, through its community program, offers Carbon Reduction Training, at no cost, to socially excluded groups in Africa with a high risk of climate-related impacts and who depend on climate-sensitive sectors, e.g., agriculture, for their livelihoods.

Michael has held senior leadership and management roles in Higher Education, Telecoms, and Broadcasting, among other sectors. He blends his private industry and academic work experience to help learners grasp the real-world applications of their studies.

He is a Lecturer at Kenya’s leading business school and a top-ranked Hospitality College, respectively, and he brings a unique perspective to Carbon Literacy training, drawing on years of hands-on expertise in creating an engaging learning environment for learners.

Michael has created Africa’s first Carbon Literacy course, Carbon Literacy for Africa. Like most enlightened Africans, Michael believes that Africa is part of the solution to climate change and not just a victim.

The Carbon Literacy for Africa course fosters a collective approach to combat climate challenges in Africa. It is open to delegates in the Global North or the Global South looking to increase their awareness of the global impact of climate change on Africa. 

Upon accrediting the Carbon Literacy for Africa course, the Carbon Literacy Project said that:

“Overall, this is a really strong course, it is well tailored to the target audience, is full of inspiring examples and engaging activities – it should lead to some really impactful action.”
