Boost climate literacy to navigate the next six years

Boost climate literacy to navigate the next six years

As global leaders acknowledge the urgent need for a paradigm shift in our food systems against the tailwinds of COP28, the responsibility on leaders in the food industry, has never been more intense. 

The transition delivery timeframe is urgent – 2030 is only 6 annual reports away! A rapid acceleration of action is needed to meet targets and build stakeholder trust, but more than risk this is a truly transformational business opportunity.    

Your organisation’s ability to successfully navigate the next six years hinges on a commitment to action, and to do this you need to boost climate literacy and close the climate skills gap through robust education and internal capacity building.  

We had such an incredible Sustainability Accelerator cohort this Autumn, with changemakers from Nestlé, Oxbury Bank, Quorn Foods, NSF, Cranswick, Fox’s Burton’s Companies UK and Premier Foods all committing to act and upskilling on climate, that we have committed to running two more open cohorts in 2024.   

We are excited to share that the next programme starts on February 14th 2024 and we’d love for you or a colleague to join us if you haven’t already.
