DMU is committed to engaging its staff, students and wider community on climate change and to providing the agency to act to reduce emissions on an individual basis and at DMU’s campuses. The University is providing this engagement and agency through the Carbon Literacy training.

Carbon Literacy Training is one day’s worth of fun learning that enables participants to better understand the climate emergency and to develop meaningful plans to play their part in combatting climate change. 

The video below by Simon Oldroyd, PVC for Sustainability at DMU, explains DMU’s approach to Carbon Literacy.

 

DMU has delivered the training to staff and students since January 2019 as part of our commitments to action on climate change (see our Carbon Reduction plans here) and to be a Carbon Literate organisation.
