Dear GEP community, Other resources that can be tapped for free right now are some of the MOOCs available at the SDG Academy. I was involved with one with other GEP colleagues on Environmental Security and Sustaining Peace — https://sdgacademy.org/course/environmental-security-and-sustaining-peace/
There is another on sustainable development, for example -- https://sdgacademy.org/course/natural-resources-for-sustainable-development/.
