Reshaping Our Economies is a self-paced online course that explores how countries and institutions can drive the transition toward an inclusive green economy—one that prioritises sustainability, equity, decent work, and human well-being.
At a time when fossil-fuel–driven, linear economic models are accelerating climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and inequality, this course introduces a new vision for economic development. It highlights how rethinking upstream economic policies can help build fairer, more resilient, and job-rich economies.
About the Course
This course places learners within the global shift toward inclusive green economies, offering practical insights into how:
- Economic policy reform can support sustainability and social justice
- Fair transition strategies can protect vulnerable groups
- Sustainable finance can unlock and redirect investment toward green development
Drawing on real-world examples from 22 countries supported by the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE), the course demonstrates how governments, financial institutions, civil society, and businesses can align economic, social, and environmental goals in practice.
What You Will Learn
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain why upstream economic policies (trade, fiscal, industrial, and employment policies) are critical for sustainable development
- Identify key policy entry points for advancing green, circular, and job-rich economies
- Outline tools and policies to mobilise and redirect public and private finance
- Assess the social impacts of green economic transitions and strategies to mitigate negative effects on vulnerable groups
- Describe country-level examples of inclusive green economy transitions in practice
Who Should Take This Course
This course is relevant for a wide range of learners, including:
- Public sector officials working on economic, trade, fiscal, industrial, or employment policy
- Professionals in financial institutions, including banks and insurance companies
- Representatives from employers’ and workers’ organisations, civil society, universities, and think tanks
- Development partners, ministries, and private companies seeking high-quality training materials for internal capacity building
Course Structure
The course is organised into three modules, each combining short videos, interactive lessons, case studies, and practical exercises:
- Module 1: Economies in Transition
- Module 2: Making the Transition Just
- Module 3: Financing the Transition
Certification
Participants who complete the course requirements will receive a free certificate of completion. To qualify, learners must:
- Complete all videos, interactive lessons, and learning activities
- Achieve at least 70% on the final quiz (maximum of three attempts)
Once completed, the certificate will be available for automatic download.
