Certificate Course In Sustainable Development - Online 6 weeks
ICECD's Certificate Course in Sustainable Development for Socio-Economic and Political Empowerment is an innovative initiative focusing on preparing the new generation leaders. This course aims to create and strengthen the skills and competencies in implementing and managing sustainable development programmes.
Sustainable Development is about how we live today for a better tomorrow, meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. Societal survival depends on more sustainable individuals and communities globally.
There are three different Development Activities Pillars – economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection – which are forever in motion. If one or two fall, the world suffers, and this is not the legacy we wish to leave for the future.
Many organizations – governments, NGOs, corporates – work towards development, but sustainable outcomes are often lacking. India needs over 1,50,000 trained development professionals who understand Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
