CARBON LITERACY FOR SNEE icb

Welcome!

Carbon literacy is an awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.  


This online Carbon Literacy course has been specifically designed for primary healthcare staff.  It has been designed to allow a clear path through the available information, but with opportunities to stop and explore, as the learner desires followed by a live workshop to help peer-to-peer support, ideas and discussion.


It covers the science of greenhouse gases, emissions and hotspots, the impact and focus on healthcare and GP practices and uses action planning to help you develop a plan for reduction to achieve better patient outcomes at a lower financial and carbon cost.


Becoming Carbon Literate requires a relative amount of hard work. Learning about climate change, for one, isn’t easy, but it’s the most important thing you’ll ever learn.
