Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) drain billions of dollars from developing countries each year, hampering investments in public goods, services and infrastructure for development.
This self-paced intermediate online course, equips you with the knowledge and tools to curb IFFs. Over five modules (in 8 weeks), you will explore core concepts, trends, and the socio-economic impact of IFFs, before moving into hands-on measurement and policy levers and toolkits.
Using UNCTAD and UNODC’s globally endorsed conceptual frameworks, you will take a deep dive into the different methods to measure taxrelated, trade-related and crime-related IFFs. Case studies, short videos and guided readings bring the material to life, while end-of-module quizzes help you consolidate learning. The intermediate course does not require you to conduct actual measurements, merely to gain an understanding of the suite of methods.
Having passed the intermediate course, you may opt to do the advanced course, where you will be required to actually measure different types of IFFs using the different methods.
The multilateral climate change processes have evolved over time from the non-binding commitment under UN Convention to the legally binding commitments for developed countries under the Kyoto Protocol and to the Paris Agreement (PA) that build upon the convention and brings all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects, with enhanced support to assist developing countries. The PA also address the issues of loss and damage.
Following the completion of the PA’s rulebook, the process is now focusing on the implementation of mitigation and adaptation with enhanced support to assist developing countries to achieve their commitments. The PA added the loss and damage into its workstream. This online training will deal with negotiation of work programmes under the following areas; just transition; adaptation mainly dealing with adaptation finance and capacity; operationalization of the loss and damage fund and its assessment; negotiating carbon markets; climate finance in the context of financing adaptation, assess to existing funds, methods of tracking, project development, monitoring and evaluation, gender and youth.
