Online Course: Unpacking the Energy Charter Treaty, 15 April - 13 May
The Energy Charter Treaty is an obscure international treaty giving energy corporations the power to sue governments for billions for climate action, including policies to phase out coal, ban oil drilling, or reverse failed energy privatisations. The ECT poses a fundamental threat to our democracies, people, and the planet. Companies have already cashed in over $51 billion in taxpayers’ money, and they’re after $35 billion more. The good news? A movement is growing to stop this dangerous treaty. Five 1.5 hour live sessions every week [Thursdays 12:30-14.00 CET]

Climate Change and Resilience in Food Systems. Free Online Course
Sustainability Research Institute
After understanding the concept of a food system, you’ll be introduced to the GCRF-AFRICAP programme and learn new methods that are being developed and used to analyse future direct and indirect climate impacts on African food systems. You’ll then investigate how scenario approaches and modelling tools are being used to inform policy responses. Through case studies exploring diversifying food production and conservation agriculture in sub-Saharan countries, you will understand some of the strategies that are being implemented to build food system resilience. You will evaluate these strategies’ benefits and costs to communities, policymakers, and donors. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to apply ideas and concepts for building climate resilience in agriculture and food systems in your own country.DegreeCourse TypeLanguage

Global Health and Drug Policy, 19-21 October 2020
IHEID
Graduate Institute (IHEID)
The 2016 United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on the World Drug Problem set the tone for the drug policy reform debate, but moving forward, many fear that this tone will be lost. In this 3-day course we will explore questions such as: What should the new direction post-2019 be for the future UN governance of international drug policy? How can different actors contribute to a global process in order to ensure that drug policies improve rather than harm the health and welfare of people? What should the role of civil society and user networks be in the international debate on drug policies?DegreeCourse TypeLanguage

Postgraduate Diploma International Development, Part Time
Maynooth University Social Science Institute (MUSSI)
The Postgraduate Diploma in International Development (part-time) is a taught Postgraduate programme that can be taken by either attending classroom modules parttime, entirely by distance/online learning (on-campus attendance not required), or by a combination of both study modes. Learners who attend most modules in a classroom setting can complete the full programme in as little as two years, while distance learners typically take between 3-4 years (maximum) to complete all requirements. Learners who enrol on the Postgraduate Diploma can transfer to the MA in International Development at a later date should they wish to do so, and will get credit for any modules already completed. The Postgraduate Diploma is designed to prepare learners for work in international development in a community, local government, youth/adult education, or NGO setting. It offers learners an opportunity to explore contemporary theories of social change and development and to critically analyse development policies and practices. It builds skills, especially in relation to critical reflection, research, leadership and working with groups and in the planning, management and evaluation of development projects. It is aimed at advanced level learners who hold a primary degree or equivalent qualifications and who have experience of working in a development context in Ireland or in other countries in the Global North or South.. Particularly welcome are leaders, facilitators and managers of community development projects, government and development agency staff, people involved in pastoral ministry, researchers, development educators, volunteers and activists. This course is also relevant to academics in the countries of the Global South engaged in teaching and research in international development. Places are also retained for recent graduates who wish to study further before embarking on a career in development work.Maynooth University Social Science Institute (MUSSI), Ireland
