Climate and Environment
Introduction
Why climate and environment?
Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution – collectively known as the triple planetary crisis – pose a profound threat to people and planet. This crisis is not only environmental; it is also a development and security crisis, undermining livelihoods, deepening inequalities and jeopardizing progress across all dimensions of sustainable development and international peace. Realizing the vision outlined in the 2030 Agenda, the New Agenda for Peace and the Paris Agreement depends on our ability to adequately address the interlinkages between climate, development, peace and security.
Capacity building for global change
At UNSSC, we strengthen the capacity of United Nations (UN) personnel and stakeholders to translate global climate and environmental commitments into effective action, building more resilient and peaceful societies.
Developed with academic rigour and in collaboration with UN entities and international organizations, our learning offerings equip participants with the knowledge and tools to tackle the interlinked challenges of climate, biodiversity and pollution in a holistic way. From strengthening climate‑resilient development and fulfilling environmental reporting obligations to showcasing innovative solutions that build resilience, we empower UN personnel, governments and civil society to drive lasting impact.
