WorkforClimate Academy

Climate education with a difference.

An online course for change-makers who are motivated to drive climate action at work and learn how to shift a company, to shift the system.

Are you motivated to take climate action at work, but don’t know where to start? Do you want to work on tackling the challenge of climate, but don’t want to switch careers? Are you ready to become a Climate Intrapreneur, and learn what it will take to influence and lead critical initiatives inside of businesses?

The WorkforClimate Academy is climate education with a difference.

You won't just level-up your climate literacy by learning the what and the why – we're also going to teach you the how. This unique course goes beyond the basics, to help you take the first step in your climate journey at work. The WorkforClimate Academy gives you the blueprint for corporate climate action and shows you how to inspire and influence stakeholders at every level to get buy-in on the most impactful initiatives.

What you can expect

This course will teach you the key concepts and skills to kickstart your climate leadership, and help you drive focused and impactful change in your company. Each module is divided into two separate learning areas: a knowledge lesson that teaches the technical climate curriculum, and an organising module that teaches the core leadership skills required for driving change.

Module 1
STATE OF PLAY // LEADING

The first knowledge module sets the context of climate and business, and what the role of corporations can be in solving the climate crisis. The first organising module focuses on leadership, and examines the ideas of 'what is mine to do?' and 'who am I as a climate leader?'

Module 2
ENERGY // COLLABORATING

This knowledge module looks at why companies should switch to 100% renewable energy, and how to start this change. The organising module focuses on collaborating, and how to connect with a coalition of climate changemakers inside your company.

Module 3
EMISSIONS // INFLUENCING

This module dives deep into emissions reduction, and developing an ambitious climate program. The organising module looks at how to leverage your scope of influence in order to drive change.

Module 4
SCOPE X // IMPLEMENTING

We introduce the concept of 'Scope X' emissions, and how companies can drive a rapid transition to a low-carbon world. In organising, we explore what it takes to actually implement change inside of organisations.

Module 5
MONEY // LEVERAGING

This module explores how businesses can align their investments and corporate cash for a climate-safe future. The organising module explores the concept of leveraging external events to drive organisational change.

Module 6
ADVOCACY // TRANSFORMING

This knowledge module dives into lobbying and how to use corporate power to shape policy and drive systemic change. We also examine how your individual work as a climate intrapreneur is linked to systems change.
