The Global University Partnership on Environmental Sustainability invites staff and students to participate at the following Massive Open Online Courses:

  • Environmental Security and Sustaining Peace
    At least 40 per cent of all internal armed conflicts over the past 65 years have had an important natural resource dimension. Despite the risks that war and armed conflict pose for the environment and the role that natural resources may play in fueling or amplifying armed conflicts, there are also significant opportunities linking the environment and peacebuilding. This free course will run from March to May 2018.

  • Relaunch of a Massive Open Online Course: Disasters and ecosystems
    Originally developed and launched in 2015 by the Technical University of Cologne, Germany and UN Environment, this Massive Open Online Course explores interlinkages between ecosystems, disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. It enhances knowledge and skills for tackling complex issues such as resilience and transformation, sustainable development, ecosystem management, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and how they can be operationalized. It was designed for disaster managers and practitioners, climate change adaptation professionals, development planners, project implementers and policy makers and students from all walks of life.
