Over the past two years, the massive open online course (MOOC) on Environmental Security and Sustaining Peace has attracted more than 17,000 participants from 176 countries around the globe. Due to popular demand, the course, which is available free of charge, will be launched once again on the SDG Academy’s EdX platform, this time in a self-paced format.

Beginning September 23, 2019, participants will have 9 months to explore the multiple roles that natural resources and the environment play in the onset, escalation, resolution of, and recovery from violent conflicts. Many of the approaches and considerations are also relevant to understanding and addressing social conflicts around natural resources and the environment. The self-paced course format will allow learners more flexibility in their schedules and more time to work through the course content. Course lecture videos and other materials will be available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Chinese, Russian, and German.

Sign up and join us to learn how to make natural resources a source of cooperation, rather than conflict. You can also visit the MOOC website to learn more about this course.
