Green Growth & Circular Economy Training
Course Overview.
The opportunities for green, circular and environmentally sustainable development will be assessed within a framework of Green Growth Principles and the Circular Economy approach while referring to both the SDGs and the Paris Agreement. We will learn about practices and green technologies – but also about how the green transition may be organized and financed, and we will reflect on how the learnings may be applied in the contexts of the participants.
The learning programme aims at inspiring participants to address the triple planetary crisis relating to climate change, loss of biodiversity and natural habitats, and pollution and waste. It will facilitate an understanding of the nature of the crisis, but the main focus will be on the responses: the solutions and opportunities for action.
