Monmouthshire County Council has today announced its participation in the annual International Carbon Literacy Action Day.

This day highlights dedication to tackle climate change through Carbon Literacy, lowering an organisation’s carbon emissions, and its commitment to working towards a zero-carbon future.

The Carbon Literacy Action Day is the largest climate education-and-action training event worldwide, taking place on Thursday 13th November, 2025, coinciding with the COP30 United Nations Climate Change Conference, the largest climate conference annually.

While global leaders meet in Brazil to negotiate climate policies, thousands of learners from all walks of life and around the world will be completing their days’ worth of Carbon Literacy training.

As part of their training day, learners will learn about core climate science and carbon impact, and will end by making pledges to reduce their own carbon footprints to take action in both their personal and professional lives.

Monmouthshire County Council will deliver Carbon Literacy training to council staff, officers and members of the community in County Hall, Usk, as part of CLAD 2025.

Cabinet Member for Climate Change and the Environment, Councillor Catrin Maby, said, “Monmouthshire Council is excited to be taking part in CLAD 2025.

“Carbon Literacy and embedding climate education and action throughout the council and beyond is an important part of the council’s Climate and Nature Emergency Strategy.”
