The courses aim to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to address climate change challenges.

The curriculum according to the EIF, offers a comprehensive exploration of climate science, mitigation strategies, adaptation techniques, and policy development. 

The Minister of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism, Pohamba Shifeta, highlighted the urgency of climate change education and praised both UNAM and EIF for their efforts.

He emphasised the significance of the NQA level 8 accreditation, offering participants a flexible study option while maintaining a high academic standard.

“I must commend UNAM and its partners for launching this short course as this is simply a great way to fill the gaps in one’s professional knowledge without the substantial investment required for full-time study programmes,” Shifeta said.

Speaking on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor of UNAM, Professor Kenneth Matengu, Christina Stefan elaborated on the course offerings.

“The courses cover a wide range of topics such as climate science, policy and governance, sustainable development, renewable energy and climate finance,” she said.

The program offers short certificate courses in the Fundamentals of Climate Change, Climate Change and Financing, and the Development and Management of Climate Change Projects

Admission is open to those holding an Honours degree (NQF Level 8) or a Bachelor’s Degree (NQF Level 7) with relevant research experience or a minimum of 5 years in the field.
