Do you work with or are you part of a community energy group or third sector organisation in the North East or Yorkshire? Do you have the ambition to drive forward local energy projects?
The North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub invites you to a take part in a programme of free Carbon Literacy training designed to give you the knowledge, tools and confidence to inspire and lead community energy initiatives.
Carbon Literacy is about understanding how everyday activities impact on our environment – and what we can do about it as individuals, communities and organisations.
It can also be an important first step in the development of local energy projects.
The Hub has arranged specific training, delivered by Change Agents UK, aimed at four specific groups.
Three online training courses will take place over two three-hour sessions, with more details available on the links below.
- Local Authority Leaders: October 13th and October 23rd, 9.30am-12.30pm
