The UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development E-Learning Courses

The United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC) Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development's learning programmes facilitate behavioural change, and support transformative action for sustainable development at national, regional, and global level – thereby catalysing the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. They offer online courses focusing on thematic sustainable development goals (SDGs) including climate change, social protection, and anti-corruption among other areas.

Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development

This course explores approaches to cross-organizational and cross-sectoral policy coherence on the national, regional and international levels, with a view to equipping participants with a sound understanding of why policy coherence is important for achieving sustainable development, what coherent policy making entails, and what are the specific tools, mechanisms and approaches that can be employed to foster policy coherence. Inputs by high-level speakers from the UN System, the OECD as well as think tanks and academia will complement the course.
