The primary objective is to work towards UN Sustainable Development Goal 4.7, which aims to advance education in order to foster peaceful and sustainable societies worldwide. This will be accomplished through the creation of initiatives and resources that encourage social and emotional learning, introduce innovative digital teaching methods, and empower young people.
A highly interactive online certificate course that enables learners to acquire critical perspectives on biodiversity and human wellbeing as well as gain the social and emotional competencies that can facilitate biodiversity conservation efforts.
