Training on Policy Dialogue in Environment and Climate Change

Please be informed that DEVCO C2 and C6 will be organising a two-day training session on environment and climate change entitled "Policy Dialogue in Environment and Climate Change" on 5 and 6 of November 2019 in Brussels.

The overall objective of this training is to enhance the capacity of staff in EU Delegations and headquarters to engage effectively and efficiently on policy dialogue on environment and climate change issues. In light of the growing importance of addressing environmental issues in partner countries, policy dialogue on environment and climate change is of particular relevance for EU cooperation.

Specifically, the training aims to raise awareness about opportunities for and the potential of policy dialogue on environmental and climate change. It further seeks to equip participants with knowledge about the rationale of a structured policy dialogue, key tools and offers opportunity to put theory into practice in the course of group exercises. The training also intends to inform participants about existing policy dialogue channels and processes (green and climate diplomacy, bilateral dialogues, Multilateral Environmental Agreements).

Participants from the EC, EEAS and Delegations can register via EU Learn:

This course is followed by the “Greening EU Development Cooperation” on 7-8 November 2019. These two trainings are highly complementary and interested colleagues are encouraged to register to both trainings.
