• Climate Know How

  When	Tuesday 13 May 2025, 09:00 to 16:30
  Where	New Volunteer House 16 East Fergus Place Kirkcaldy KY1 1XT
  Cost	Free to attend – no payment is needed.

  The Scottish Government acknowledged the Climate Emergency in 2019 and Scotland’s ambitious climate change legislation now sets a target date for net zero emissions of all greenhouse gases by 2045. In response to this Scotland’s green economy is expanding.   

  Climate literacy is a vital component in reducing carbon emissions, and will become an increasingly important factor in keeping the workforce employable. Scotland’s employees will need to be appropriately skilled to address both the climate emergency and changes to working practices that Scotland’s businesses and organisations will need to adopt going forward.

  Climate Know How training is delivered as part of the Climate Action Fife project which brings together individuals, communities, local government, and businesses to tackle the climate emergency and make Fife a greener and fairer place to live.

  Who should attend?

  This session is open to partners that are aware of the need to upskill the workforce to prepare for forthcoming changes in the employability landscape to meet the and manage response to the climate emergency.

  Participants will discover:

  • The major contributors to climate change
  • The impacts of the climate emergency on quality of life, safety and health globally, nationally, and in Fife
  • What we can do collectively to change the way we work and live to tackle the climate emergency
  • How an organisation can prepare and apply for Climate Literacy Accreditation at Bronze, Silver and Gold Levels  – awarded by the Carbon Literacy Project

  Part of the session will include personal climate literacy accreditation, awarded to individuals by the Carbon Literacy Project. This personal accreditation will become increasingly important to workforces in the future, and helps organisations on the way to achieving accreditation as a Carbon Literate Organisation.
