Milestones

We believe MPs and civil servants deserve and need basic training tailored to their job roles and covering carbon emissions, climate change impacts and climate science.

We want the government to develop and deliver an accredited Carbon Literacy course to provide 8 hours of learning on these essential topics. We believe politicians frequently make policies or pronouncements that show their lack of understanding of the basic science of carbon emissions and climate change impacts. We think this is severally hampering our ability to provide a liveable future for us and our children.
