This interacti ve workshop gives you the knowledge\, confidence and practical tools to u nderstand climate change\, your own carbon footprint and the actions that make a real difference. \;

During the two-week training\, you will explore the science behind climate change\, how ever yday activities create emissions and what individuals\, universities and organisations can do to reduce their impact. \;It&rsquo\;s designed f or anyone &ndash\; no science background needed\, just curiosity and a wi llingness to get involved.

To achieve this globally recognised qual ification\, you need to attend two online sessions\, engage with self-dir ected content and complete an action plan. \;

By attending\, you&rsquo\;ll gain the following skills\, knowledge and behaviours for your future career:

Skills:

Calculating and interpreting your personal carbon footprint.
Identifying high‑impact actions to reduce emissions in daily life.

Communicating about climate change clearly and confidently with peers\, family and future employers.

Setting realistic\, meaningful pers onal pledges and action plans.

Knowledge:

The basics of climate science\, greenhouse gases and global warm ing.
How everyday choices (travel\, energy\, food\, shopping) con tribute to carbon emissions.
The role of universities\, organisat ions and policy in tackling climate change.
Key concepts such as net zero\, carbon footprints\, scope 1&ndash\;3 emissions and climate jus tice.

Behaviours:

More intentiona l\, low‑carbon choices in everyday life (e.g. travel\, energy use\, consu mption).
Willingness to discuss climate issues constructively and challenge misinformation.
Proactive approach to identifying and implementing climate‑positive actions.
Increased confidence to ac t on climate concerns rather than feeling overwhelmed or disengaged.

Through group activities\, discussion and reflection\, you&rsquo\ ;ll identify realistic changes you can make in your studies\, work and pe rsonal life. \;
