Short courses

The UNI-LEAD project has developed a series of short courses designed for LUCCC members to strengthen their understanding of, and skills for training in, key aspects of climate finance. The courses are intended to strengthen collaboration between universities and governments, and to enhance the skills and confidence of LUCCC universities to deliver climate finance training that strengthens the competencies and skills of government officials to develop fundable concept notes and proposals for accessing climate finance.

UNI-LEAD Short Courses

Short courses 1 & 2 provide extensive background and examples for navigating the complex landscape of climate finance structures and schemes, in the LDC context. Short courses 3 & 4 explore key concepts on how to effectively incorporate gender equality and social inclusion — and how to develop a strong climate rationale, respectively — into climate finance concepts and proposals. Short course 5 provides a ‘how to’ on practical steps for developing a climate finance concept note, with a particular emphasis on developing a theory of change.
