Boosting Climate Literacy at the Treasury

People For Nature has been working with the Treasury, a State Government department that recognises the importance of employees embracing climate science with hope and systemic thinking. To support this, we designed a fun climate literacy workshop—Climate Conversations: Awareness and Impact—delivered as part of their employee wellbeing program.

Program Objectives

We created a tailor-made science-based workshop to boost climate literacy, linking awareness to wellbeing and professional growth. This department has put climate science at the centre of its staff training, empowering teams to have meaningful climate discussions. The positive, engaging approach in the workshop has sparked optimism and inspired several of the team to become climate workshop facilitators themselves.

Why This Matters to Us

The Treasury plays a key role in shaping Australia’s economic and policy decisions, including those related to climate action. By strengthening climate literacy within the department, employees are better equipped to understand the risks and opportunities linked to climate change, and to consider long-term, systems-based impacts in their work. This matters to all Australians, as these decisions influence the resilience of our economy, the stability of our communities, and the way we transition toward a more sustainable future.

Impact & Feedback

This workshop is brilliant, helping us think deeply about how we interact with nature. We can see that the impacts of climate change are profound and reversing those effects takes time and effort. The facilitators were great – creating a safe space to discuss the issues, while giving us hope about the future.
