CUMBRIA County Council staff will be taking part in carbon and climate literacy training.
The training will help improve their knowledge and understanding of the issues and how they can take action to tackle this climate emergency.
This is part of the council's commitment of achieving a low/net zero carbon economy by 2050, the training will be available to all staff and elected members.
The sessions will be delivered online by the councils training provider Cumbria Action for Sustainability. The course will be included as part of a core learning package alongside other topics such as Health and Safety, Equality and Diversity, and Information Security and Data Protection.
Cabinet Member for Environment, Councillor Celia Tibble, said "Climate change remains one of the greatest challenges to this generation and for many generations to come. It is already a threat to Cumbria and is one of the greatest threats to humanity globally."
