AFC Solihull are delighted to pledge their commitment to Birmingham County FA’s new ‘Save Today Play Tomorrow’ initiative.
Club Chairman, Tim Delaney, recently completed the ‘Carbon Literacy’ training course and said afterwards, “this was a real eye opener as to the state of the world as we know it and the damage we are ALL doing without realising it. We need to act now to ensure we protect the planet for the future generations and football really can make a difference and has a massive part to play”
What is Carbon Literacy?
Carbon Literacy is an accredited 7-hour interactive course that provides awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities coupled with the positive steps that can be taken to reduce emissions, on an individual, community or organisational level – it is the essential first step in empowering people to evoke wider societal change
Why should we become Carbon Literate?
It is proven that by becoming carbon Literate, learners understand how climate change will impact them and the communities around them.Through the course learners gain an understanding of how to reduce their individual carbon footprint but also gain the confidence and knowledge to do this within their club or work setting.
Certification is awarded following the successful completion of an approved Carbon Literacy course where learners have demonstrated and evidence an understanding of the following key areas:
- The Science behind climate change
- Social equity & climate change
- What you can do to act on climate change (including individual & community pledges) Strategies and skills for communicating action on climate change.
