The Northern Eco is offering climate action training to journalists and communicators as part of a global initiative to boost carbon literacy
The Northern Eco, an environmental news outlet covering North Yorkshire and the North East, is inviting journalists to participate in this year’s International Carbon Literacy Action Day (CLAD) on 13 November 2025. The event, which coincides with the COP30 climate summit in Brazil, is a one day masterclass in understanding the carbon impact of everyday activities and how to reduce carbon emissions.
As part of CLAD, The Northern Eco will deliver online carbon literacy training for up to ten individuals, including journalists, communications professionals, and others interested in climate issues. The training covers climate science, organisational carbon impact, and concludes with participants making pledges to reduce emissions in their work and daily lives. The cost is £150, including official certification, but a 50 per cent discount is available using the promo code NECO at checkout.
The Northern Eco founder Sarah Hartley, a former Google News Initiative program manager, has already provided similar training to several media and communications organisations, underlining its commitment to tackling climate change and supporting science-based reporting. The initiative comes at a time when climate misinformation is widespread and reliable information is in high demand.
