The Climate Change International Legal Regime has been developed under the InforMEA Project and it has been affiliated to UNCC:LEARN, Green Development and Climate Change Unit of UNITAR.

InforMEA is steered by the MEA Information and Knowledge Management (IKM) Initiative with the support of UN Environment and the European Union. The course is based on the UN Environment Training Manual on International Environmental Law. 

The MEA IKM initiative currently includes 43 international and regional legally binding instruments from 18 Secretariats hosted by four UN organizations and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), in the framework of a collaboration with UN Environment, has designed the course’s new learning architecture and conceived the instructional design approach, including interactive learning objects, exercises, assessments of learning and evaluation. The Institute has also produced the course documentation. The Climate Change International Legal Regime course is fully aligned with international standards on e-Learning for capacity building.

The Climate Change International Legal Regime course covers the causes and effect of Climate Change; describes the mechanisms established by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and explains the key provisions and commitments established by the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.
