We can’t believe it’s been a week since our biggest Action Day yet! So far, CLAD 2024 has proven to be a huge success in size and impact, and we’re grateful that so many organisations around the globe were a part of this collective achievement. 🌎 We are still on a buzz after our World Tour Webinar, which was a truly inspiring event where we were joined by a diverse guest speakers that took part in the Action Day. Our excitement still lives on as we anticipate the final number of learners trained during CLAD 2024, but for now, we leave you with the closing words of our Co-Founder & Director of Advocacy, Phil Korbel, who summed up the impact of the Action Day. 💭👇 “We know full well the challenge is huge, both in terms of the climate crisis and global political headwinds… Things have not gotten easier for us. But that in no way must detract from our energy and what we’re putting into Carbon Literacy, as an essential ingredient to stablising the climate and delivering a safe future for the people and things that we love, which is what this is all about.” ✨ The Action Day World Tour Webinar is now available to watch on our YouTube channel: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ej_UnVw2 #CarbonLiteracy #CLActionDay #CLAD #ClimateAction #ClimateEducation

A recent ruling in Holland found that the oil company Shell has no 'social standard of care' to reduce its carbon emissions. This raises the question: Do employers have a responsibility to reduce emissions, and how can HR lead the way? 🤔 “Companies that are stepping up to deliver net zero at the speed and scale demanded of them are thriving as they lower overheads, align with their customers’ values, and stay ahead of the competition by attracting and retaining the best talent.”- Phil Korbel. As more companies recognise the powerful business case for sustainability, HR leaders have an incredible opportunity to drive change. By making Carbon Literacy central to employee development, HR can build resilient workplaces that meet the needs of both people and the planet for a sustainable future. 🌱 Learn more about HR's role in reducing emissions via the link below: 👇 https://lnkd.in/evQ4-EfU #CarbonLiteracy #Sustainability #ClimateEducation #ClimateTraining #HR #NetZero
