Negotiation probably offers the most powerful means of resolving conflicts and optimising exchanges. In the first case, it prevents the value from being destroyed (waste of time, loss of money, social costs, etc.) and in the second case, it directly creates value (in principle, each party who signs a contract makes a profit).

This introductory course teaches learners WHAT is an integrated approach to sustainable development and WHY is it needed. The course explains the rationale, drivers, challenges, and opportunities for an integrated approach to tackling poverty-environment issues. The course lays the foundations for an advanced course focused on HOW to apply the integrated approach in practice. 

This Advanced course builds upon the introductory course Introduction to Sustainable Development in Practice.  It teaches learners HOW to apply in practice an integrated approach to sustainable development throughout the various stages of the policy and project cycle, including analysis, dialogue, planning, financing, communicating, monitoring, and evaluation.

The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is a principal training arm of the United Nations, working in every region of the world. We empower individuals, governments and organizations through knowledge and learning to effectively overcome contemporary global challenges.
