Historic England’s Carbon Reduction Training for the Heritage Sector has been lauded as a stellar step towards a greener future. Click here to read more about their work.
Workshop 1: How to Measure a Carbon Footprint
Many heritage organisations are keen to understand their carbon footprint and start putting meaningful measures in place to reduce their emissions. Are you one of them but you don’t know where to start? This timely workshop aims to demystify carbon accounting and bust all the jargon. Together we break down the process into digestible steps and leave you confident in your ability to measure your organisation’s first simple carbon footprint.

Workshop 2: How To Write a Carbon Reduction Plan
Across the heritage sector, organisations are working to reduce their carbon emissions and minimise their contribution to climate change. Writing a realistic and measurable carbon reduction plan that works with your organisation is not always that easy. This useful workshop breaks down how to write a basic carbon reduction plan that is aligned with your organisation’s aims. You will leave confident in your abilities to engage your team with the plan and know how to embed it within your governance.

Previous learners have said…
“Really helpful first session about carbon accounting – seems simpler now than I originally thought.”
“I think the content of the course will really help the sector get started on this and I am looking forward to the next session.”
“It demystified the whole process and broke it down into easily manageable chunks.”
“What I liked most was the realisation we don’t have to do everything or be perfect at once. There are things we can’t control and that’s ok!”
