Local Authority Climate Action Training

About

The Local Authority Climate Action Training Programme has been developed under six unique pillars that serve to underpin the commitments set out in Action 150 of the Climate Action Plan to strengthen and empower Local Authority climate action leadership and build awareness and capacity within the sector to further reinforce the delivery of effective climate action.

 

The coordination, development and procurement of training courses under the Local Authority Climate Action Training Programme is being undertaken by the LASNTG (Local Authority Services National Training Group) in conjunction with the Climate Action Regional Offices (CAROs). Training courses are being delivered online and through the existing Regional Training Centre network which supports the training needs of the local authority sector.
