SUMMARY:Free UN Sustainable Development Courses
DESCRIPTION:Adopted by the United Nations in 2015\, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals with 169 targets that the UN is committed to working towards through the year 2030 with the hope of creating lasting positive change and freedom in the general areas of People\, Planet\, Prosperity\, Peace\, and Partnership. The purpose of these goals is to create a framework for development programs that will focus on eradicating poverty\, hunger\, violence\, fear\, and disease and promoting literacy\, equality\, human rights\, sanitation and hygiene\, education\, and physical\, mental\, and social well-being. These goals are meant to build on the Millennium Development Goals and work towards the three key areas the UN identifies for sustainability\, which are economic\, social\, and environmental development. \nThe SDG Initiative\nIn addition to the implementation of the SDGs\, 17 various universities have worked to create an initiative to educate learners about the SDGs and how they can contribute to achieving them. Coursera is the primary platform where these courses are offered for the general public in the form of online classes with the hope of increasing participation in the work being done towards these goals. The courses often provide a hands-on experience with an NGO or international organization who is working to achieve the SDGs through their work. The participating universities hope to offer a global education on these goals and ways to get involved. \nThe SDGs and Courses Offered\nThe SDGs are 17 goals with a total of 169 targets among them\, most of which are meant to be achieved by 2030. These goals strive to work towards sustainable economic\, social\, and environmental development on a global scale. You can read in-depth reports about these goals and the progress being made towards achieving them at https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org. Courses offered through the SDG initiative cover one or more of the goals through Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). \nNo poverty (Goal 1)\n\nGoal 1—No poverty: End poverty in all its forms everywhere. The hope for this goal is to eliminate extreme poverty by 2030 (defined by people living under $1.25/day) and to reduce the number of men\, women\, and children living in poverty by at least half. It also strives to implement social protections and measures for all people\, including increasing and ensuring equal economic and social access for all people and reducing the vulnerability of the poor to situations such as climate-related events and other shocks and disasters.\n\nAvailable MOOCs on SDG 1: \n\nLeiden University (SDG Partner Project)\nPolitical Economy of Institutions and development\n​PROJECT Partnering with Development Done Differently. Participants will analyse a (local) NGO and suggest possible improvements for effectiveness. \nUniversity of Taiwan (SDG Partner Project)\nWelfare and Rights of Youth\nPROJECT Working with local Taiwan organisations. The goal of the project is to facilitate the action of protecting children and youth and to create strategies promoting their rights. Note: Course is in Chinese\nOther courses available:\n\nUniversity of Geneva: Children’s Human Rights: An Interdisciplinary Introduction\nUniversity of Oslo: What Works: Promising Practices in International Development\nUniversity of York: Improving Children’s Lives: Reducing Child Poverty and Inequality Around the World\nHarvard University: Child Protection: Children’s Rights in Theory and Practice\nUniversity of Copenhagen: The Sustainable Development Goals – A global\, transdisciplinary vision for the future\n\n\n\n  \nFor a Full List of classes for all of the SDGs\, click here.

SUMMARY:Life Cycle Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability practitioners are frequently confronted with a tough question: “How do I measure that?” Here’s how.\n\n\n\n\nThis is a survey course on life cycle assessment. Participants will learn the steps involved and gain a basic understanding of the scope\, challenges and possibilities in applying life cycle assessment to decision-making processes. An introduction to the use of LCAs to support Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) based on Product Category Rules (PCRs) will also be included. \nThis course provides an overview for sustainability practitioners wondering if LCA would be a good field to get into; who may need to hire a firm to do a detailed LCA and need to know enough about the process to oversee the project; need to understand LCA to produce Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)\, especially those interested in having their products eligible for LEED credit points in the building and construction industry; or who need an introduction to LCA before taking the ‘deep dive’ into certification training as a practitioner.\n\nIt will be $25 for members and $55 for non-members. Successful completion of all course requirements will earn a passing grade and an individualized Certificate of Completion\, along with 1 CEU for ISSP-SA and ISSP-CSP credential holders.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINSTRUCTOR\nJeff Yorzyk is a veteran of environmental and sustainability management consulting\, now bringing it all together for one company in the rapidly growing meal kit space. In the course of his consulting career\, Jeff worked on numerous Life Cycle Assessment projects\, and advised large brands\, trade associations and even a technology start-up on their use and communication. As a result\, he will forever bring a life cycle perspective to his work as a sustainability professional. He is also the Former President of the ISSP Board of Directors.\n\n \nRegister today!
