Another literacy! Carbon literacy is defined on the Carbon Literacy Project website as “An awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.” The UK project creates Carbon Literacy Toolkits with training materials for specific sectors (they are just releasing the toolkit for museums, which is why I picked up the news): you only get access to the toolkit if you are in that sector. There are already toolkits for the University sector and Local Authorities (presumably including public libraries) https://carbonliteracy.com/toolkits/ "Learners who successfully complete a day’s worth of approved Carbon Literacy learning are certified as Carbon Literate" so perhaps it isn't as challenging as information literacy...
