We are the charity formerly known as Cumbria Action for Sustainability (CAfS)

Climate & Carbon Literacy training and workshops

Standard and bespoke options for individuals, businesses, schools and community groups.

Futureproof Cumbria is at the forefront of empowering people to take action on climate change through innovative training and workshops.

Designed for diverse audiences, from community groups and businesses to school staff and pupils, our programmes enhance understanding of climate science, carbon footprints and sustainable practices.

Our interactive sessions equip participants with essential knowledge and inspire actionable steps towards reducing carbon emissions and promoting environmental stewardship. By working together to understand the climate crisis we can build resilient communities and drive meaningful change in Cumbria and beyond.
