Why is it Important to Know?
CARBON LITERACY
“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.”

Activity: Climate Change Risks
How you get to and from work?
How the changing climate could affect workplaces?
What resources we may need?
How may communities be impacted and the impact this has on us?

Climate Change Impacts on the Emergency Services
![Page 20: Climate Change and the Fire Service - Nathan Travis · Behavioural Change Procurement. Carbon Literacy Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing Criteria Green Action Whole-Life Cycle Assessment](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062607/6023e78be04bec234d1eaa97/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What Are We Doing to Help Others
• Emergency Response:• Fire, Flood, RTC’s
•Dangerous structures, rescues, hazardous materials (including electric vehicles)
•Adapting to emerging technologies (EV, solar, building construction)
![Page 21: Climate Change and the Fire Service - Nathan Travis · Behavioural Change Procurement. Carbon Literacy Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing Criteria Green Action Whole-Life Cycle Assessment](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062607/6023e78be04bec234d1eaa97/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What Are We Doing to Help Others
• Fire Prevention & Protection:• Focused on incidents starting in (and contained within)
homes and businesses
• Safety messages on avoiding wildfires
• Flood Mitigation:• Starting to offer advice, support & welfare as part of
multi-agency response arrangements, clear up & recovery
• Humanitarian Services:• Animal Rescues, Gaining Entry

What Could That Mean for FRS’s?
•More severe and more frequent weather-related incidents
• Longer durations of both emergency and recovery phases
•More impacts on property & assets
•More impacts on health & wellbeing of responders
•Need for different skills and equipment
