The Carbon Literacy Action Day 2025 brought together over 2,782 individuals from across the globe, all dedicating their time to learn and act against the climate crisis. This massive training event, held on Thursday, November 13th, saw participants pledge more than 5,564 new actions to reduce carbon emissions. These actions are projected to save over 10,000 tonnes of CO2, a significant contribution equivalent to the annual emissions of about 2,100 passenger vehicles, highlighting the urgent need for such collective efforts.

Over 133 organizations, ranging from healthcare to digital marketing, played a crucial role in delivering this training. Educational institutions, including primary schools and universities, were at the forefront, contributing over 1,466 learners. Notably, Barnsley College trained 505 individuals, and the Government of Jersey engaged 235 school students, showcasing how Carbon Literacy can connect learners of all ages in addressing the climate emergency. The event’s global reach was evident, with learners participating from 21 different countries across five continents.

To celebrate and reflect on the day's achievements, a Carbon Literacy Action Day World Tour Webinar was hosted. The webinar featured inspiring stories from various training providers and offered key updates from The Carbon Literacy Project's founders. Dave Coleman, one of the founders, emphasized the power of collective action, stating: “Sometimes, although we feel very alone, we aren’t. There are loads of us out there… All of us together are working for this same agenda where we’re trying to deal with climate change and give everybody better options and a better life.” This sentiment perfectly captures the Action Day's theme: Connect, Collaborate, Cascade, which is vital as we face the climate crisis.

The success of the Carbon Literacy Action Day is a testament to the dedication of participants, trainers, and sponsors like Zenith.
