Carbon Literacy in Scotland

Scotland has set a target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. To achieve this target, communities, businesses and organisations across all sectors will need to play a significant part in the transition to a low carbon Scotland.

Carbon Literacy provides knowledge and skills around the climate crisis, and what they can do about it, helping individuals and organisations to play their part in Scotland’s drive for net-zero.

Their vision is for a clean, green, sustainable Scotland and they work with people, communities and organisations to help combat climate change, reduce litter and waste, restore nature and biodiversity, and improve places. They aim to inspire changes in behaviour to improve our environment, the quality of people’s lives, their wellbeing and the places that they care for.
