넷제로아카데미, 세계적 탄소 교육 기관 英 CLTrust 재단과 손잡아
이번 협약에 따라, CLTrust는 한국 산업 및 조직만의 특수한 요구 상황과 문화적 특성을 반영한 맞춤형 탄소 교육 자료 및 기후 행동 훈련 도구 개발에 있어 넷제로아카데미에 자문을 제공할 예정이다.
넷제로아카데미의 박희원 대표는 “한국은 경제 수준에 비해 탄소이해력이 상당히 뒤떨어진 상황이라, 탄소 문제가 기후 위기 문제를 넘어 국제 탄소 규제 통상 이슈인 현 상황에서 모두가 거의 손을 놓고 있다”며 “이번 Carbon Literacy 교육 협력이 한국인들의 탄소 문제에 대한 경각심을 높이고 구체적인 기후행동 실천에 나서 탄소를 둘러싼 각종 위기를 지혜롭게 넘는데 큰 도움이 되길 바란다”고 밝혔다.

Net Zero Academy Signs MOU with the UK’s Carbon Literacy Trust to Promote Global Carbon Education in Korea
Net Zero Academy, a Korean education company specializing in corporate and institutional carbon neutrality and ESG training, announced on the 13th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the UK-based nonprofit Carbon Literacy Trust (CLTrust). The partnership aims to introduce the internationally recognized Carbon Literacy™ program to Korean companies, institutions, and organizations.
Comprising experts in carbon, energy, and sustainable investment, Net Zero Academy stated that the MOU was established to implement Carbon Literacy education across a wide range of Korean organizations—including corporations, government bodies, and civic groups. The goal is to equip participants with internationally standardized carbon knowledge and to foster grassroots-level climate action and behavioral change.
The Carbon Literacy Trust is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing education, awareness, and action in response to climate change. The CLTrust program offers participants official Carbon Literacy certification upon completion, empowering individuals and organizations to respond proactively to the climate crisis. Currently, more than 730 Carbon Literacy-certified courses have been developed worldwide, with participation from businesses, governments, and universities in 33 countries across Europe, Asia, and beyond. The Trust has also conducted open sessions at major events such as the opening day of the UN Climate Change Conference.
As part of the MOU, CLTrust will provide advisory support to Net Zero Academy in developing tailored educational content and climate action training tools that reflect Korea’s unique industrial landscape and cultural context.
Dr. Hee-won Park, CEO of Net Zero Academy, stated:
“Despite Korea’s advanced economy, the level of carbon literacy remains significantly low. In the current era, where carbon issues extend beyond the climate crisis to affect international trade regulations, there is an alarming lack of preparedness across the board.”
“Through this collaboration, we hope to raise awareness among Koreans about the urgency of carbon-related issues and encourage meaningful climate action to help wisely navigate the challenges ahead.”
