Project details
What we need
- Specific copy from one document (up to 1000 words) translated from one language to one other of the Organization's choice
- Note: If you need more than 1000 words translated or copy translated into more than one language, please post additional versions of this project
What we have in place
- We currently have the web-page text in English, ready to be translated, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Welsh partners who will check it through, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,098 , allowing us to reach new audiences to develop and deliver climate change education.
This will help us to be in-line with Welsh work, whereby all text is in Welsh, then English, helping us to better engage with our Welsh partners and new organisations who engage with Carbon Literacy in Wales.

Our mission
The Carbon Literacy Project offers everyone a day's worth of Carbon Literacy learning, covering - climate change, carbon footprints, how you can do your bit, and why it's relevant to you and your audience.
The Project's published definition of Carbon Literacy is:
"An awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions on an individual, community and organisational basis."
The Carbon Literacy Project is globally unique - there is nothing else quite like it anywhere. It was recognised as such by the UN at COP21, in Paris, where it was awarded as a TAP100, one of 100 worldwide Transformative Action Programs.
What we do
Carbon Literacy is relevant climate change learning that catalyses action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Carbon Literacy Project works to provide access to this learning to everyone who lives, works and studies and is expanding rapidly across the UK and beyond.
The Carbon Literacy Project is based on the key aim that if we are to cut our carbon emissions by the kind of reductions demanded of us by science, then we will need to change culture alongside technology.
Carbon Literacy training is offered through workplaces, educational institutions and communities.
Carbon Literate citizens understand how climate change will affect them - both geographically and sectorally - and have acquired the knowledge and skills to lower their carbon footprint, with typical realised carbon savings of 5-15% per person (Jacobs 2018).
Testimonials
Peter is incredibly skilled and experienced in the translation of texts from English to Welsh, both happily and easily meeting the needs of this project. The final materials were completed and submitted quickly, and we hope to work with Peter again in the future on any similar translation projects as our work in Wales continues to progress.
