Protect Our Winters

Carbon Literacy Training

Protect Our Winters UK 

After returning from the Performance Breakthrough clinics in March 2023, I contacted the charity that runs the UK branch of Protect our Winters, to ask how I could contribute to their efforts.

We can all take action to protect our environment, of course, and by taking action we can reduce future impacts:

high or low carbon emissions make the difference between 70% or 30% less snow.

Here’s what Protect our Winters has to say:

From the valleys, the woodlands, and the wildlife within; to the lakes, the mountains, and the communities below: climate change is destroying the places we play and the things that we love. 

But it’s all to play for.

Protect Our Winters UK (POW UK) is an outdoors climate action charity who help passionate outdoor people protect the people and places we love from climate change - for everyone.

We need the outdoors community to show up, and educating yourself is a great place to start. An informed community is better positioned to influence decision-makers, and we’ve made it easy for you with our Carbon Literacy Training. 

Carbon Literacy Training

Protect Our Winters Carbon Literacy Training (CLT) is a one-day course that empowers you to take effective climate action. It will teach you the science behind climate change, giving you an awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities alongside the ability and motivation to reduce emissions.

Tailored for passionate outdoor people like you and designed to the Carbon Literacy Standard, developed by the UN-recognised Carbon Literacy Project, you'll be learning the most up-to-date science and be able to tackle those difficult conversations head-on.

“It was fascinating and I really enjoyed the way you shared the materials. I’ve taken time to study a lot in the past few years, so had read quite a lot of the content, but still found it all enjoyable and learned so much more than I was expecting to! A really excellent course. I have already recommended it to a number of others.”  James, M. CLT Completionist.

The course has been subsidised by our generous partners, meaning we can offer you a place for only £35.
