CLIMATE LEADERSHIP FOR CHARITIES
88% of charities are concerned about climate change and almost three-quarters agree that climate change has already impacted them or will in the future, according to a report by Charity Digital.
This interactive training is targeted to charity trustees and leaders to help you commence climate action in a way that aligns to your mission and supports your beneficiaries.
With tools, frameworks and discussion, leave feeling able and clear on your next steps.
Whatever your charitable purpose is and whoever your beneficiaries are, climate change is changing the game and playing a part.
With the most vulnerable in society also most vulnerable to climate impacts like floods, supply chain disruption and heatwaves, we need to respond to safeguard our people.
Equally, with climate action increasingly being recognised in funding bids and linking to better mental health, access and equity, it presents an opportunity to enhance our impact and ensure we're meeting the changing needs of our community.
If you're ready to start your action, let us help you shape the right path for your charity.
In this interactive training, your team will:
-
Recognise climate & sustainability challenges and identify those most relevant to your mission
-
Start mapping your emissions (carbon footprint) and influence (carbon handprint) in order to scope risks and opportunities
-
Co-create solutions to identify the best way to drive and communicate change.
How the Course Runs
Pre-Session: Opening Up to Climate Action
Your team will be sent a rich pre-course training pack for you to go through in your own time.
Its videos, games and Powerpoint slides will help you to understand the basics of climate change and how it intersects with social issues and equity, ready to dive in during the live workshop.
Live Session: Climate Action for Leadership
The heart of the course, where our Education Team will bring the resources to life, aligned to the ACEVO Climate & Environmental Leadership Principles. Highly interactive with activities and guided discussion, your team will gain a clearer picture of how climate change interacts with your organisation, where you can set your ambitions, and how you can act. This can be delivered online or in-person.
Post Session: Climate Leadership Resource Toolkit
To help you feel supported beyond the training, you will receive a Climate Leadership Toolkit full of resources after the session. It has been curated to help guide you in embedding what you've learnt into your practices and work.
