Elected councillors here in the UK are being offered 'training' which, after answering a set of questions 'correctly' can lead to them being given a Climate Literacy Certificate. What the certificate qualifies a councillor to do I am not sure.
Climate Change & Carbon Literacy Training | ClimateGuide - Empowering Action
Councillors have always needed to be trained to carry out some 'judicial' functions, such as planning and licensing where knowledge of the relevant law is essential, but there is no such function relating to climate or carbon. This is just a way of trying to influence the way councillors think about what is a political project, Net Zero. The training is not currently compulsory.
