Purpose and goal
The project aims to get employees in the industry to become Climate Ambassadors - inspiring and knowledgeable climate role models in their workplaces. The main target group is men, as men as a group are furthest from the climate issue today. Global Utmaning has produced a course material that provides knowledge and tools for climate action. We will scale and develop the material, with a focus on industry and the opportunity to influence workplaces. We collaborate with actors with great knowledge of the industry and a substantial reach: IF Metall, Unionen, Adecco and CirEko.
