Greener Kirkcaldy Accredited as a Gold Carbon Literate Organisation
Created: 04/07/2025
News/Events Category: Climate/Environment
Congratulations to Greener Kirkcaldy which has been accredited as a gold carbon literate organisation. The accreditation recognises dedication to tackling the climate emergency, reducing its own carbon emissions, and commitment to working towards a zero carbon future.
Greener Kirkcaldy first engaged with carbon literacy through its Fife Climate Know How training developed as part of its work with Climate Action Fife. It is now delivered to its staff and volunteers, as well as individuals and community groups across Fife. The course allows people to confidently discuss the climate emergency and describe the actions we can all take to tackle it.
Greener Kirkcaldy became accredited as a gold carbon literate organisation in 2022 and has renewed this status for a further three years.
To help achieve the accreditation, 90% of staff and a growing number of volunteers received training and became formally certified as carbon literate. Greener Kirkcaldy has also made significant progress on its climate action plan, which sets out action to be carbon-neutral by 2030.
This includes encouraging active travel, making its community building in East Fergus Place more energy efficient and engaging people across Fife in climate action. Its gold status also helps it demonstrate that it is a trusted voice that can provide reliable and practical information to help people and organisations to tackle the climate emergency.
