The PAGE Introductory Learning Materials on Green Economy are organized around 40 key topics and contain easily digestible knowledge on a number of green economy issues. They are available in PowerPoint and PDF format with detailed speakers’ notes providing further information and case examples.

The materials have been created to support green economy learning activities in developing countries. They might be used, for example, by resource persons providing an introduction to the green economy concept at a national workshop. Furthermore, the materials can be used at any non-profit learning event or serve to enrich one’s understanding of Green Economy as a self-study tool.

The Introductory Learning Materials on Green Economy have been developed by UNITAR within the framework of the Partnership for Action on Green Economy, a one-UN initiative, which includes UNEP, UNIDO, ILO, UNDP, and UNITAR.

The PAGE Advanced Learning Materials is a set of 15 advanced learning units on Green Economy with a thematic focus on “Green economy policy assessments” and “Greening economic sectors”. The first section is dedicated to macroeconomic green economy assessments, explaining the purpose of green economy modelling, and detailing green job assessments and green industry assessments. The second section focuses on the following economic sectors: Agriculture, Buildings, Energy, Forestry, Manufacturing, Tourism, Transport, Waste and Water.

This work complements the self-standing set of “Introductory Learning Materials on Green Economy”. The main purpose of all learning materials is to support national and international partners when delivering training and/or workshops on IGE issues. The learning materials are customizable to national contexts. Moreover, you can pick and choose from different units and slides can be added/replaced and are supplied with speakers notes.
