Positive Planet and HotelShop UK have teamed up to create and deliver a Carbon Literacy training course tailored to those working in the Travel and Tourism sector. Carbon Literacy training has been recognised by the United Nations as a TAP100, one of 100 worldwide Transformative Action Programs in combatting the climate crisis. Carbon Literacy training provides organisations with an awareness of the climate-related costs and impacts of their activities and the ability and motivation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Is this course right for me?

This course is aimed at businesses working in the travel and tourism sector, their employees and anyone looking to increase their awareness of carbon dioxide costs, impacts, and most importantly how to reduce emissions. The course would be especially useful for those people who have a responsibility for sustainability and carbon reduction within their role.

The course will enable you to empower your team to take climate action. The course will also give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to act to reduce your carbon emissions to support your company’s and the UKs Net Zero target.

Where?

This in-person training event will be held in the easily accessible Cardiff City Stadium, Leckwith Rd, Cardiff CF11 8AZ, a short walk from Ninian Park and Grangetown railway stations. Parking is also available on-site. There will be opportunities to network about your Net Zero plans with like-minded businesses
