The Partnership for Action on Green Economy, in collaboration with UN offices, trained 62 public servants from Ministries of Finance, Planning, Development, and think tanks on macroeconomic modeling for green and fair economic transformation. The six-week e-learning course, including coaching for nine country teams, enhanced participants' ability to select appropriate modeling tools and improve evidence-based decision-making.
Over 157,800 unique beneficiaries engaged with the UN CC platform on topics like gender, finance, adaptation, and health. Seventy-eight percent found the training useful, and 73 percent considered it relevant to their job. For over 10 years, UN CC has provided e-courses on climate change, green economy, and circularity, building a global community of over 800,000 learners.
Three Latin American countries progressed towards the implementation of national schemes for classifying and communicating the hazards of chemicals in line with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). Supported by UNITAR, Ecuador, El Salvador and Peru formalized political commitments through intergovernmental committees, long-term roadmaps and regulatory instruments.
Two African countries, Ethiopia and the Gambia, enhanced national capacities to combat persistent organic pollutants with our support. Ongoing training and technical assistance established systematic methods for identifying, analyzing, and managing exposure risks. Both countries are now closer to meeting their 2025 and 2028 Stockholm Convention commitments.
