By applying for, registering for or participating in this event, the participant acknowledges that he or she is, (or they are) aware of the policy and agree to its terms.
In this course, we will go on a journey to Africa and and discuss what are the challenges and outlooks for sustainable development on the continent. The course introduces you to the key approaches, policies and international frameworks that aim to unlock more sustainable patterns of consumption and production (SCP).
We will cover a number of aspects and various thematic areas: from energy efficiency - to climate-smart agriculture, from SCP tools, policies and international agreements - to behavioral change of individuals.
After completing the course, participants will be able to:
- Define the concept of SCP and explain its value for Africa and globally
- Distinguish key elements of effective policies for SCP
- Discuss how can SCP be advanced specific sectors and areas
- Explain the role of consumers and individual choices for SCP
- Identify global and regional initiatives that promote SCP
