DECORDIA has launched its Carbon Literacy Course for Events, to offer an accessible and interactive education on how outdoor events can begin – or further reduce their carbon emissions – and look after people and the planet.

Specialists in designing, building, and curating inventive and sustainable sets, decor and theming for festivals, venues and experiences, DECORDIA has been striving for sustainability across the event industry.

The course has been developed with The Carbon Literacy Project, which was recognised as one of 100 worldwide Transformative Action Programs at the UN at COP21, in Paris. The course provides organisations with the tools and resources needed to deliver a day’s worth of climate change training, empowering them to reduce their carbon impacts and supporting their audiences to do the same. To date, over 100,000 people from over 7,800 organisations have officially been certified as Carbon Literate, the aim is to reach one million by 2030.

Founder of DECORDIA, Cordelia Ashwell, said: “Knowledge is power and I know plenty of people who want to do their part in tackling climate change but often don’t know where to start because they don’t have the right resources, so this is where the course comes in – I’m really excited to share insights on how the events sector can be part of the solution. Whether you want to sign up as an individual or book for your whole company, the course is for everyone.”
