Follow-up and Review (FUR) and the Voluntary National Review (VNR)

E-Learning Tutorial

Developing a 2nd Generation Voluntary National Review

This course is the second course in the Follow-up and Review series. It builds on the e-learning tutorial on "Follow-up and Review (FUR) and the Voluntary National Review (VNR)". The purpose of this e-tutorial is to help countries develop their 2nd or 3rd generation Voluntary National Review. This tool aims to complement the VNR handbook and the common reporting guidelines developed by UNDESA by providing practical advice and helpful concrete tips specifically on 2nd VNRs.

Localizing SDGs through Sustainable Urban Resource Management

This self-paced eLearning course was developed for those who want to learn more about how to localize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to sustainably manage natural resources in cities.
The course purpose is to support cities in their actions to localize the SDGs through Sustainable Urban Resource Management (SURM) and the objectives are to:

• Strengthen capacities by supporting understanding of the processes and benefits of collaborative governance, integrated analysis and planning, and evidence-based decision-making;
• Make guidelines and tools available to mainstream and accelerate adoption of the SDGs into local action in the area of urban resource management; and
• Provide support for implementing urban resource management projects through step-by-step building blocks on how to co-plan sustainable urban resource management.

Applying Behavioural Science to Policy and the Environment

This self-paced e-learning course is targeted towards policymakers who wish to enhance their understanding of behavioural science applications for policy and the environment. The purpose of this course is to increase the impact of policy interventions on positive outcomes for environmental sustainability. No previous knowledge of behavioural science is needed to take this course. Participants will need to complete all modules and test your knowledge questions in order to receive the certificate of completion.

Energy Connectivity In The Pacific: Planning Tools For Integrating Renewable Energies Into Island Grids

This course presents two tools - a Simplified Planning Tool and a Multi-Criteria Assessment Tool - that can be used to help design island grid systems that integrate high shares of renewable energy techologies.

Simulation tool for carbon pricing in support of NDC implementation

This CPI simulation tool was developed for policy makers and climate practitioners to examine the opportunity for applying carbon pricing instruments in support of implementation of NDC targets. The overall objectives of this e-learning course are to: - provide policymakers with the understanding how CPIs impact socio-economic factors of development. - examine scenarios and pathways for implementation of NDC targets using CPIs. - examine opportunities to invest revenue in increasing natural climate solution coverage to close the gap to net-zero.
