IMPORTANT: Please register directly on the course website: http://unccelearn.org/
This tutorial introduces how governments can respond to the climate change challenge through better budgeting, which integrates climate change risks and opportunities into budget preparation.The tutorial is divided into five sections, and it takes around 30 minutes to complete all sections.
The tutorial has been developed under the UNDP Strengthening the Governance of Climate Change Finance to benefit the poor and vulnerable (2012-16) programme, with support from the Government of Sweden. The content is based on methodological work by Kit Nicholson.
At the core of this e-tutorial is a case study of an irrigation scheme in Thailand, the Plychumpol scheme, while the information is delivered based on a "hands-on" approach including interactive exercises.
At the end of the e-tutorial, you have the opportunity to test the knowledge you acquired by answering the 10 questions available. However, the test is not compulsory.
The e-tutorial is narrated so you will need the audio turned on. You are also given the possibility to download the document containing the scrip and a glossary of terms in a PDF format either from the first slide, once you entered the tutorial, or from below, before you start.
The e-tutorial has been designed for officials located within a sector ministry affected by climate change, particularly the agriculture sector. However other interest groups may also find the content useful.
