Climate education as the foundation for reduction measures
According to a study by Bitkom, companies can save around 20% of their CO2 emissions through digital technologies. To successfully implement these reduction measures within a company, what is needed above all is an understanding of the necessity of such measures—across the entire workforce. This is where climate education comes in. It covers both the fundamentals, which provide a general understanding of the climate crisis, tipping points, corporate emissions, the need for action, and much more, as well as more in-depth knowledge and skills regarding climate action in various departments and concrete reduction measures. The guiding principle here is: "Every job is a climate job".
To what extent do companies benefit from climate education?
Financial benefits of climate education for companies
Climate education and employee engagement
In summary, this means:
Implementing climate education in a company involves additional effort, but not only the environment benefits from it—companies do too. In the long term, costs are avoided, companies remain competitive in the market, and employee motivation increases.
Every company will be affected by the climate crisis, whether through regulations or through the consequences of climate change. However, the consequences of regulations are considerably milder than those of the climate crisis. Through climate education, companies create the foundation for a successful corporate transformation and can subsequently contribute their necessary part to achieving climate goals.
