27 May - 19 July 2013
Dear Climate-L Readers,
Last slots are available for the e-learning course "Introduction to a
Green Economy: Concepts and Applications", 27 May to 19 July 2013.
The course is delivered by UNITAR in partnership with UNEP, ILO and
UNIDO and provides interested stakeholders from government, business,
civil society and academia with an introduction to the green economy
concept. Participants will learn about different concepts and facets
of the green economy, including its contribution to addressing climate
change. Special attention is given to global, national and
sector-specific challenges and opportunities to advance low-carbon,
climate resilient and socially inclusive development. Additionally,
participants will begin to acquire basic skills for applying the green
economy concept in an economic, policy-making and personal context.
The ability of national actors to act on the green economy is key for
effective policy making and achieving tangible results. To address
this challenge UNITAR is working closely with UNEP, ILO and UNIDO in a
new Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE), focusing on
national capacity development.

-----------------------------------------------
BACKGROUND
The concept of a green economy is receiving increasing international
attention, as countries explore new patterns of development that take
into account economic, social and environmental sustainability
considerations. The recent UN Conference on Sustainable Development
(Rio+20), June 2012, reaffirmed the role of a green economy in
achieving sustainable development. The ability of national actors to
act on the green economy is key for effective policy making and
achieving tangible results. To address this challenge, United Nations
Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is working closely with
UNEP, ILO and UNIDO in a new Partnership for Action on Green Economy
(PAGE), with a focus on national capacity development.
In order to provide interested stakeholders from government, business,
civil society and academia with an introduction to the green economy
concept UNITAR, together with PAGE partners, is delivering an
interactive e-learning course from 27 May to 19 July 2013.
TARGET GROUPS
The course targets groups and individuals that are interested in
obtaining a general understanding about the green economy concept and
latest developments. They include:
* Civil servants in national Ministries, provincial departments and
local authorities
* Diplomats from Permanent Missions and Ministries of Foreign Affairs
* Environmental managers in private sector and civil society organizations
* Faculty, researchers and students
* Interested citizens
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Participants will learn about different concepts and facets of the
green economy, as well as global, national and sector-specific
challenges and opportunities to advance low-carbon, resource efficient
and socially inclusive development. Additionally, participants will
begin to develop basic skills for applying the green economy concept
in a real world economic, policy and/or personal context.
After completing the course, participants will be able to:
* Define the concept of a green economy and explain its value
* Identify enabling conditions for greening national economies
* Identify principal challenges and opportunities for greening key
economic sectors
* Describe national planning processes in support of a green transformation
* Recognize international and regional initiatives and support
services to foster green development
* Apply the green economy concept to a real world economic, policy
and/or personal context
METHODOLOGY
The course pedagogy is adapted to professionals in full-time work.
Participants are provided with the opportunity to learn through
various experiences: absorb (read); do (activity); interact
(socialize); and reflect (relate to one's own reality). The total
number of learning hours is 40 over an 8 week period. During weeks 1-5
the reading of an e-book is complemented by a range of learning
activities and experiences that include interactive exercises,
discussion forums, and an applied case study. Weeks 6-8 are reserved
