Description
This course is accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project and is specifically designed for those working in local authorities.
After completing a day’s worth of training, delivered over two days, participants are certified “carbon literate”. This involves completing an action plan that commits participants to individual and group action to reduce their carbon footprint. Upon successful assessment, a learner is awarded a uniquely numbered certificate by the Carbon Literacy Project.
This online course is suitable for officers, leaders and elected members. It is designed to both engage and inform and features group work and other interactive elements.
Participants will learn:
- The science of climate change
- Local and global impacts and how these will affect the work of local authorities
- The difference between direct local authority emissions and emissions under local authority influence – and how they can address both
- The scale of the challenge, what they need to do, and which actions will have the greatest impact in helping your local authority reach net zero
- How to make to make informed everyday low carbon choices
- How to talk to others about climate change

Why train with Three Point Five?
Praise for Three Point Five
Excellent presenter – I hardly ever say that! – but she, Rachel, was really, really good, so clear, friendly, authoritative, engaging and I was overjoyed the training covered food and agriculture, this was money well spent on our part as I think it was just what was needed to inform and galvanise staff and councillors in a positive way.
– Councillor Caroline Ellis
I just wanted to say how great that climate change training was, Rachel was very engaging. I like how it was localised to SWT, a balanced level of detail – enough to get the message across, good pace and interactive. The content was also delivered very neutrally so great for people who are a bit sceptical! I’ve heard really positive feedback from others too.”
– Julie-Ann Wyatt, Head of people and culture
– Chris Hall, assistant director of climate change
You fit so much into the 90 minutes, it was concise, had all the essential information, was delivered in an engaging way so participants should be more likely to retain what they learnt. Rick and Rachel are clearly experts in this field, and it comes across in the training really well.
– Anna Meares, climate emergency project officer
