Carbon literacy training can reduce individuals’ climate impacts, but existing trainings are too time-intensive for the general population. In partnership with the University of Worcester and Worcestershire County libraries, we created, delivered, and evaluated two abbreviated carbon literacy programs. We presented these at six county libraries, collecting feedback to improve the programs. We recommend that: audiences be informed of the programs beforehand; programs focus on actions participants can take; the programs have a set start and end time; presenters know that prior knowledge of participants varies widely. We also created resources for librarians to continue the programs in their local communities.
