DWER takes action on carbon literacy

Dec 12, 2023

A personal pledge made by Department of Water and Environmental Regulation staff taking part in low-carbon climate education sessions was a meaningful acknowledgment of Monday’s Carbon Literacy Action Day.

The staff members, including ten of 2023 graduate cohort, recently participated in a Carbon Literacy program run in collaboration with Edith Cowan University’s School of Business and Law. The sessions follow a successful pilot program held last year.

Carbon Literacy Action Day was held on 4 December to coincide with UN COP28 Climate negotiations. 

The program builds an understanding of everyone’s effects on the world’s climate. Training topics included reducing their carbon footprint, climate change science and how individual, or broader actions can impact greenhouse gases.
