Carbon Literacy.
+ Climate Fresk.
At Bold Green Strategies, we believe well-supported teams get the best results.
Sustainability is a complex topic, and being able to confidently understand and communicate is key to the success of in-house policies and projects, as well as a consideration when interacting with clients or customers; climate change and greenwashing are both very real risks to business.
We use the Carbon Literacy Project and Climate Fresk frameworks to upskill teams quickly and keep the conversation moving forwards.
Carbon Literacy.
We are delighted to offer three Carbon Literacy courses: Carbon Literacy for Catering, Hospitality, and Events Professionals, Carbon Literacy for Museums and Carbon Literacy for Heritage Organisations.
The Carbon Literacy Project offers a day’s worth of learning, covering climate change, carbon footprints, its relevance to your life and work, and personal action. The Project is globally unique and was recognised by the UN at COP21 where it was awarded as a TAP100, one of 100 worldwide Transformative Action Programs.
As of 2024, the Project has certified over 100,000 learners as Carbon Literate, and estimates carbon savings of 5-15% per person.
*With special thanks to Roots & Branches (a collaboration between The Carbon Literacy Project, Museum Development England and Manchester Museum, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England), and Historic England.
Kind words.

Carbon Literacy for Catering, Hospitality, and Events Professionals

This course has been designed with busy teams in mind, and has in-depth case studies and practical actions that can translate into meaningful real-world change.

Carbon Literacy for Museums
Museums play a distinct role in our communities, inspiring and informing millions of people every year. It is important that those who work and volunteer at museums feel confident about climate change.
The course contains practical information to support efforts to reduce carbon impacts, and meet funding requirements, and tools to support staff in effective communication.

Carbon Literacy for Heritage Organisations
Developed by Historic England and Historic Buildings & Places, this course aims to support the wider heritage sector, from organisations that manage heritage sites to those who provide heritage services.
It’s important that people working in the heritage sector feel confident in their climate change knowledge, understanding how their actions can affect the historic environment and the heritage assets they care for.

✒ Why Bold Green Strategies?
We understand the day-to-day complexities of hospitality and events, having worked with many UK luxury events teams.
With backgrounds in Arts and Heritage (V&A, Charles Dickens Museum, Shakespeare’s Globe) and Architecture (ARB, RIBA), we bring a range of relevant experience and perspectives to the table; we have a insight into the commercial/venue side as part of our consultancy's hospitality specialism, and we can also apply our architectural expertise regarding materials and conservation, and understand the sensitivity required when working within listed/historic buildings.
Our partnership with Unique Venues of London has seen us train many of their members, including Spencer House, the Royal College of Physicians, London Wildlife Trust, the English National Ballet, Sadler’s Wells, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and Somerset House.

Climate Fresk.
As part of our climate literacy offering, Bold Green Strategies are licensed facilitators of Climate Fresk, a card game of cause-and-consequence.
Climate Fresk is a unique tool (that emerged in France in 2015) which helps to contextualise some of the trickier aspects of climate science.
This in-person collaborative workshop uses an interactive card game, based on 42 cards, to teach the fundamental science behind climate change and empowers its participants to take action.
Climate facts are sourced from scientific publications found in the IPCC reports: these are the same reports that inform global political and economic decision-making at the highest level.
As of 2023, over a million people have participated.
The cards are in your hands!
