Wessex Museums participates in Carbon Literacy Action Day!
Wessex Museums is proud to participate in the International Carbon Literacy Action Day (CLAD), a worldwide event focused on climate education and action. Taking place on Thursday 14 November, alongside COP29, this day marks the largest coordinated climate education effort globally.
On Carbon Literacy Action Day, Wessex Museums aims to inspire positive climate action as part of its environmental responsibility commitments. An additional 13 staff and trustees from across the partner museums will receive Carbon Literacy Training, bringing the total number to 47.
What is Carbon Literacy? Carbon Literacy® is a practical, inclusive approach to climate education, involving a day’s worth of training designed to give individuals an understanding of their carbon impact and the tools to make meaningful changes. Phil Korbel, Co-Founder and Director of Advocacy at the The Carbon Literacy Project, highlighted the power of collective actions:
“It’s all very well talking about global warming – but without actions that’s just so much hot air. Carbon Literacy is about mobilising people at scale to do their best climate thing…The Carbon Literacy Action Day condenses this phenomenon into one exciting day that brings our whole movement together during COP29 for the world to see that we do indeed bring ‘climate action where you are.'”
