Qualifications and Courses in Environment-Related Fields

Have you felt the urge to know a bit more about sustainable development?
Do you need a little more on your CV?
Can’t quite manage all the fees for some university courses?
We have all the answers here:

How about ‘Sustainable Development in the 21st Century with Ban Ki-moon‘?

Or perhaps, ‘Water Supply and Sanitation Policy in Developing Countries‘? That one is from Manchester University in the UK.

The third choice here is ‘The Age of Sustainable Development‘ delivered by Professor Jeffery Sachs. Jeffrey D. Sachs is a world-renowned economics professor, leader in sustainable development, senior UN advisor, bestselling author, and syndicated columnist. Professor Sachs serves as the Director of The Earth Institute, Quetelet Professor of Sustainable Development, and Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University.

Ecosystem-Based Adaptation for Food Security Assembly

One speaker, Mr. Michael O’Brian of Green Peace Africa said “If there was an Olympics Competition for Policy drafting between continents, Africa would win hands down”. All conference participants burst out in laughter, but not because it was funny. The reason is because it is true. We are very good at drafting policy documents, but devoid of action.

Like I had informed you earlier, the ‘2nd Africa Ecosystem Based Adaptation for Food Security Conference 2015’  ended with adoption of  “Nairobi Action Agenda on Africa”   and a “Constitution of the Ecosystem-Based Adaptation for Food Security Assembly” symbolized the official start of the “Ecosystem-Based Adaptation for Food Security Assembly (EBAFOSA)”. We hope this time we are going to be a continent of action.

Follow the links below to read the declaration and constitution:
