Based on two decades of experience, UN Environment, the Environmental Law Institute, Columbia University, Duke University, and the University of California-Irvine have developed a MOOC on Environmental Security and Sustaining Peace. Offered on the SDG Academy platform and in partnership with the Environmental Peacebuilding Association, the course synthesizes 100,000 pages of material and hundreds of case studies from over 60 post-conflict countries into seven hours of film.

The course addresses three key issues: (1) how natural resources and the environment contribute to or amplify armed conflict and violence; (2) how natural resources and the environment are impacted by war and armed conflict; and (3) how natural resources and the environment can support post-conflict peacebuilding and reconstruction. Our MOOC is geared toward technical experts, field practitioners, and advanced university students.

The eight-week MOOC starts on 11 February 2019. Join us to learn how we can make natural resources a source of cooperation, rather than conflict!
