We've unlocked the Education category for you. Carbon (climate) literacy is an increasingly important concept in today's world, where climate change is one of the biggest challenges we face. Climate literacy is the understanding of how the climate system works, how human activities affect the climate, and how climate affects people and other parts of the Earth system. It is important because it enables people to assess the evidence, discuss solutions, and make informed decisions about climate change.<\/p>\n

Effective climate (carbon) literacy education is key to raising environmental awareness and making sustainable choices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This education should be accessible to all ages and should include school education, university courses and employee training.<\/p>\n
