Support Researching Outreach Channels for UNDP course on the Paris Agreement

Details

Mission and objectives

UNDP’s Global Programme on Nature for Development brings together three different initiatives under one program – the Equator Initiative, the National Biodiversity Initiative, and the Global Forest Initiative – in order to identify, foster, showcase and celebrate nature-based solutions that help achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at local, national and international levels. The work of the Global Programme on Nature for Development contributes to UNDP’s Strategic Plan 2014-2017 by charting sustainable development pathways through the conservation, restoration and sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystems; and by promoting inclusive and effective democratic governance in the area of natural resources.

Context

Learning for Nature is the premier e-learning platform by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). It offers an extensive portfolio of e-learning offerings to promote best practices in conservation and sustainable development and ​​develop the capacity of biodiversity policymakers, practitioners, and local and Indigenous communities. The Ecosystem Restoration MOOC will be offered by the The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in English, French, and Spanish. This eight-week course compiles research from leading institutions engaged in ecosystem restoration and experts in the field to raise awareness and build ecosystem restoration capacity. The course is geared to government representatives interested in creating a blueprint for ecosystem restoration at the national or subnational level, but is open to everyone.

Task description

UNDP is looking for an additional online volunteer to provide support in researching outreach channels for the upcoming UNDP Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) on an upcoming course on the Paris Agreement. The channels will be used during the course promotional campaign in December 2022. The online volunteer will be asked to conduct independent research on various public and private organizations, networks, and academic programmes that are involved in work relevant to the Paris Agreement and compile their research in a shared database.
