At King’s we’re empowering our students and graduates to lead positive change in climate and sustainability.

In addition to transforming our taught curricula, we also offer a number of additional learning and training opportunities to ensure everyone at King’s can play their part, while giving our students the tools they need to succeed. Find out more about our range of learning and training opportunities below.

We’ve committed to embed sustainability in everything we do, which means supporting our staff to make Education for Sustainability part of every student’s core curriculum and giving everyone in our community the knowledge and skills to make change together.

Carbon literacy training

We are proud to offer Carbon Literacy Training, an award-winning, accredited training developed by the Carbon Literacy Project. Structured as an interactive and discussion-based session, the training covers the science and impacts of climate change, as well as specific actions we can implement to reduce emissions. Participants will be guided to make two pledges aimed at reducing emissions individually as well as collectively. Upon completion of the course and fulfillment of the two pledges, participants will receive certification as Carbon Literate individuals. Carbon Literacy Training is 7 hours worth of training, currently being offered face-to-face over 2 half-day sessions. King's offers Carbon Literacy Training for all current students and staff, accredited (officially recognised) by the Carbon Literacy Project.
