The One UN Climate Change Learning Partnership (UN CC:Learn) was set up in 2009 at the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit, as a collaborative initiative that aimed to help countries design and implement systematic, recurrent and results-oriented climate change learning. Initially working in five countries, the initiative has expanded its support to 30 countries, either bilaterally or through two regional programmes. Nowadays, 36 multilateral organizations are part of UN CC:Learn, collaborating closely to deliver high-end and up-to-date e-learning resources and to support the integration of climate change into educational, training and public awareness activities at the national level.
Among its many activities, UN CC:Learn has an extensive e-learning platform, covering several topics in the area of climate change and green economy. Currently, users can take 24 different self-paced, free, online courses, modules and tutorials on subjects ranging from introduction to green economy to the impacts of climate change on cities, available, overall, in 8 different languages. All courses developed by UN CC:Learn or in the framework of its collaborations are developed in partnership with experts brought in by UN CC:Learn partners, who make their knowledge and professional expertise available through interactive lessons. Through its new affiliation programme, UN CC:Learn now also recognizes high-level courses developed by other partners, which complement the existing offer.
