Course description
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.
