Museum Development England, in partnership with Manchester Museum and The Carbon Literacy Project, has developed an online Museums’ Carbon Literacy Toolkit that is free to access by all museums. It is being delivered by the Museum Development teams across England, with the support of the Museum Carbon Literacy Officer. It will run online from the 6th to 13th May.

The Toolkit and training are part of the Roots and Branches project, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. The course is amied at volunteers and paid staff who work across all service areas from Accredited Museums or those working towards Accreditation in England. Museum Development England advise that, where possible, two people from each organisation should attend the online course for peer support when developing actions.

The Carbon Literacy Course provides an understanding of what climate change is, the scale of its effects, and how museums fit into the global, national and local picture to address climate change. You will become Carbon Literate by making an individual pledge, and an organisational pledge to take back to your museum, of what you can do, and is in your power to achieve, to make a significant difference to your carbon impact.
