After completing the Carbon Literacy for Travel and Tourism course, delegates have the opportunity to take a short assessment to achieve certification as carbon literate – a term used to describe an awareness of climate change, and the climate impacts of everyday actions.
 
The course was developed after members said it would be helpful to have training which provides information on the terminology used around carbon and climate change.
 
The course ran for the first time in November last year and all of the delegates who went on to take the assessment passed.
 
Abta has scheduled two instalments for the first half of this year, with the next one on 26 April and another planned for June.

 
Carol Rose, head of sustainability at Abta, said: "Sustainability is a huge focus for our work, and this training course is one of a number of ways Abta is supporting members to develop a sustainability approach that is right for their business."
