SUMMARY:Carbon Literacy for Congregations (online)
DESCRIPTION:Join a Carbon Literacy course this Creationtide and learn how you and your church community can most effectively tackling the climate emergency \nBecome Carbon Literate and help others in your congregation to become Carbon Literate \nNB: you need to complete some pre-course work (watching a documentary and filling in a carbon footprint tool) and attend all five sessions to complete the course. \nCarbon Literacy for Congregations is an accredited course written for use in small groups in churches. It covers topics including: \n\nWhy Christians should care about climate change\nThe science of climate change\nClimate justice and climate impacts\nCarbon footprints and how your church can cut theirs\nThe co-benefits of tackling climate change\nWhat do we do with climate anxiety and grief?\nHow we can best communicate about climate change with others\, especially within our church communities\n\nThis course accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project (CLP)\, a national charity\, and as part of the course you’ll be invited to make two pledges and submit them to the CLP. If they are happy with them\, you’ll then receive a certificate to confirm you are Carbon Literate. The course is free\, your certificate fee will be covered by the Church of England. The course has been written specifically with church congregations in mind and designed to run in-person\, in small groups within churches.

Once you’ve completed the course yourself we would encourage you to run it in your own congregation.
