This interactive worksh op gives you the knowledge\, confidence and practical tools to understand climate change\, your own carbon footprint and the actions that make a r eal difference. \;

During this day-long trainin g\, you will explore the science behind climate change\, how everyday act ivities create emissions and what individuals\, universities and organisa tions can do to reduce their impact. It’s designed for anyone – no scienc e background needed\, just curiosity and a willingness to get involved.

To achieve this globally recognised qualification\, you need to \;complete and submit \;an action plan by 4pm on 26 November. \;< /p>

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

Skills:< /strong>

Calculating and interpreting your personal carbon foo tprint.
Identifying high‑impact actions to reduce emissions in da ily life.
Communicating about climate change clearly and confiden tly with peers\, family and future employers.
Setting realistic\, meaningful personal pledges and action plans.

Knowle dge:

The basics of climate science\, greenhouse gases and global warming.
How everyday choices (travel\, energy\, food \, shopping) contribute to carbon emissions.
The role of universi ties\, organisations and policy in tackling climate change.
Key c oncepts such as net zero\, carbon footprints\, scope 1–3 emissions and cl imate justice.

Behaviours:

More i ntentional\, low‑carbon choices in everyday life (e.g. travel\, energy us e\, consumption).
Willingness to discuss climate issues construct ively and challenge misinformation.
Proactive approach to identif ying and implementing climate‑positive actions.
Increased confide nce to act on climate concerns rather than feeling overwhelmed or disenga ged.
