Carbon Literacy Training

Carbon Literacy provides learners with a clear understanding and ‘an awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.’ Since starting The Carbon Literacy Project has certified over 80,000 citizens across the globe and saved approx. 213,000t of CO2e.

Our vision at The Hive is to inspire tomorrow’s climate leaders, and to do that we need educate and empower not just young people, but adults with the influence to create change now, for the benefit of us all.

Since declaring a Climate Emergency in 2019, London Borough of Waltham Forest has been reducing its carbon emissions by including divesting pension out of fossils fuels, strengthening cycling infrastructure, securing £1.7m to retrofit Council homes and investing £4.5m into The Hive to showcase sustainable practices and climate education.
