Education & Training
Step 5. Education And Training
Provide opportunities for your staff to receive education and training in best practices to support your company’s climate action goals and to actively encourage and enable individuals to adopt these practices both at work and in their personal lives.
Introducing education and training courses is one of the most effective ways to quickly build a climate aware culture in your organisation and to equip all employees with the technical knowledge they need to successfully implement effective measures at company and role-specific levels. Courses can be organised either at in-house level or by using external training academies and accelerator programmes.
