How can communities take the next steps on their road to a just transition and how do we kick-start the implementation of local Zero Carbon Britain plans?CAT’s new Zero Carbon Britain course will explore how communities can best meet the challenge of the climate change and biodiversity crises in a time of political uncertainty – the science says we must, the technology says we can, time to say we will!

Explore climate solutions, create an action plan for you and your community, and gain Carbon Literate certification on our online course. Specifically developed for those working in communities, this online course will cover the science of climate change, local and global impacts and how these will affect their work. Drawing on our Zero Carbon Britain research, we’ll look at low carbon objectives in the communities and create an action plan to influence others. Your output from this course will be evaluated by the Carbon Literacy Project in order for you to be certified as Carbon Literate. What is Carbon Literacy? The Carbon Literacy Project describes it as ‘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.’

Join a CAT student teaching week and explore the energy requirements and carbon emissions of different international contexts and their potential to meet their energy needs more sustainably. Through a series of lectures, discussions, and practical activities you will learn alongside our postgraduate students on our MSc Sustainability in Energy Provision and Demand Management. You will experience what it might be like to study on one of our postgraduate courses at CAT and gain invaluable knowledge and skills around existing global CO2 emissions related to energy provision and demand.
