Objectives and Expected Outcomes

As a direct answer to the Greening the Blue report recommendation, the aim of this training module is to increase general awareness of key environmental and natural resource concepts to all peacekeeping staff. At the end of the course,

participants are able to: 1) Describe how environment and natural resource link to and affect peacekeeping operations; 2) Identify the multiple benefits of addressing environment and natural resources in peacekeeping; 3) Describe how

environment and natural resources are addressed by UN peacekeeping policies and mandates as well as sources of good practice; and 4) Explain personal responsibilities and actions to be taken by every peacekeeper to implement the

DPKO/DFS environmental policy.

Duration and Workload

The course is broken down into three main sections:

Introduction to the learning objectives and key concepts;

Seven main reasons to care about environment and natural resources in peacekeeping operations;

What can each of us do to address environment and natural resource challenges at the field level?
