UN CC:Learn – The One UN Climate Change Learning Partnership

UN CC:Learn is an innovative and unique CC learning platform with 36 multilateral partners working on three inter-linked Programme Areas: i) Knowledge-sharing and management; ii) One UN Climate Change training; iii) Human resources, learning and skills development in partner countries.

To create sustainable individual and institutional capacities, in developing and transition countries, to plan and implement effective climate change actions, with collective and coordinated support from partners.

The primary beneficiaries are governments in developing countries committed to taking a strategic approach to cc learning & skills development. A 2nd group are national and regional training & education institutions interested in strengthening their capacities to deliver cc learning. A 3rd group are UN organizations and other development partners to better align their cc capacity development support with clear national priorities. A fourth group is the public at large profiting from the free-of-charge learning products with a special emphasis on youth.
