“Overall the course has helped me to contribute more to the UNDP team’s work in country. It has been a pleasure to take part on the course and I thoroughly recommend it to other colleagues.”

"We are truly grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with UNDP on the e-learning module and Massive Open Online Course Understanding Resilience Thinking. We were able to learn from UNDP's experience and expertise in developing MOOCs. It was a pleasure to work with UNDP team to transform our material into interactive, online lessons and MOOC curriculum!"

Roy Trivedi Resident Coordinator & UNDP Representative, Papua New Guinea

"The MOOC was extremely valuable in helping me understand resilience thinking and NBSAPs and how they related to the SDGs and the Paris Agreement. There are many synergies that need to be considered, and this MOOC will enable me to include this in a synergistic way with the Paris Agreement goals."
