In this episode, CSCEN's Millie Cave talks to Phil Korbel and Grace Henderson from the Carbon Literacy Project: https://carbonliteracy.com/
Summary:
Following our first conversation with Phil back in 2022 (linked below) where we heard all about how the project first started, in this latest episode we delved into their insights from having now trained and certified over 140,000 people from over 13,000 organisations (accurate at the time of writing). We discuss a range of topics ranging from successful approaches to education around green knowledge and skills, and current government policy around net zero, to tackling skills shortages in achieving the targets.
