The first step towards climate correction is to become climate and carbon literate. Here is how you can do it.
The global climate crisis demands immediate action to protect our environment, ecosystems, and societies. Building a strong foundation in climate and carbon literacy is crucial for individuals, organizations, and communities to effectively combat climate change. We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Climate and Carbon Literacy Training, organized by RDI in collaboration with ThinkZero under the RDFact project. This comprehensive program aims to equip participants, particularly those in the waste and energy sectors, with the necessary knowledge and skills to address the challenges posed by climate change.
