Upcoming Opportunities
Carbon Literate Organisation Awards 2025
Better be quick! Our CLO Awards is our largest and most popular event of the year, with an annual attendance of 100+ guests. Think canapes and drinks, performances, speeches, music and dancing. Taking place in June this year, our CLO Awards will be an exciting showcase event with an estimated 200 extra guests in attendance compared to last year.
We have our Headline Sponsor confirmed for 2025 but are still seeking supporting sponsors. Could this be your organisation? Get in touch for more information.
Carbon Literate Educator Awards 2025
Are you a business looking to promote yourself to Schools, Colleges and Educators across the UK and internationally? ‘CLE’ is an award that educational institutions can attain to showcase their dedication and commitment to Carbon Literacy training and climate action. Our very first CLE Awards Ceremony took place in October 2024, proving to be a great success. This year’s event will be even bigger and better. The event will take place in October 2025 and there will be schools, colleges, universities and trainers in attendance.
Carbon Literacy Trainer Celebration 2025
Our Trainer Celebration is a special event for our wonderful network of accredited Carbon Literacy training professionals, celebrating those who have gone above and beyond in their delivery of Carbon Literacy. With a smaller budget than our CLO Awards, this event is a good opportunity to benefit from an intimate sit-down dinner with some of our most committed training providers. Some of these are in-house trainers at large businesses, while some are consultants who work with many different clients, so a variety of different sectors will be represented. The event will be held in mid-September, 2025. By sponsoring this celebration, you can help us provide a well-deserved “Thank you!” to our trainer community.
Carbon Literacy Action Day 2025
The Carbon Literacy Action Day goes beyond a single event — it’s a year-round campaign culminating in a global Action Day to inspire Carbon Literacy and climate action, coinciding with the UN Climate Negotiations. In 2025, CLAD will run from 10th to 13th November, aligning with COP30. Sponsors gain year-round visibility through events, webinars, and campaign communications celebrating climate action. We’ve seen a greater than 70% increase in participation since 2023. In 2024, 3,926 learners were trained in Carbon Literacy, resulting in 7,852 climate action pledges worldwide, across 22 nations – saving an estimated 9,000 tonnes of CO2e.
Local Sponsorship - Carbon Literate Localities
Would you like to benefit local schools, sports groups or members of your community? We are establishing regional Community Pots, where local businesses within a given district can commit to funding free Carbon Literacy certification for local school children or community groups. We hope that this can leave a lasting legacy of impact, and encourage local Carbon Literate businesses, schools and community groups to work together! If you are interested in finding out more about how you can benefit your local community, please get in touch.
Toolkit Sponsorship
Did you know that you can sponsor the development of a Carbon Literacy Toolkit or course materials? We are currently seeking funding to develop materials in the Communities, Fashion, Grassroots Sports and Financial sectors. By funding the development of these training materials, you can position yourself as a Carbon Literacy pioneer, and have your logo featured across all Toolkit materials, workshops, focus groups and digital communications. This is your opportunity to leave a lasting legacy – like Autotrader, who funded our Automotive and Digital & Tech Toolkits, positioning them as the sustainability leader in this space.
