E-LEARNING
Sida is a central actor to contribute to the transformational change needed to ensure every person’s right and opportunity to live a decent life. Realizing this vision requires us to have a common understanding of sustainable development within the safe operating space of a stable and resilient planet. This course establishes the links between poverty reduction and the environment; defines Sida’s role in this intersection; and provides opportunities to practice integrating environment, climate change and biodiversity into operations. The course will provide you with the missing piece of the poverty puzzle.
Content
The course is designed as a puzzle – in each segment of the course, you will complete exercises in order to earn puzzle pieces. First, you will be introduced to the links between poverty reduction and the environment, followed by Sida’s role in this intersection. Next, you will get the opportunity to practice environmental integration by working with a fictive contribution. Finally, the course provides you with guidance for taking lessons learned with you in your daily work. Once all puzzle pieces have been collected, the pieces will be combined to reveal the transformation to an environmentally sustainable society for both people and the planet.
The course takes approximately 90 minutes to complete.
