Description

This initiative aims to generate qualified alliance by mobilize and empower partnership among different stakeholders, including business, CSOs, and individual etc. to promote public awareness and engagement for SDGs achievements with special focus on accelerating carbon peak and neutral targets in China in next three years. It will provide training for around 300 key decision makers, ESG staff, and educational professions and build up professional networks for measuring, analyzing, evaluating, reporting and managing SDGs into their respective working fields . In addition, systematic training and certification mechanism for SDGs general education will be functioned to motive and empower public, especially for youth.

Expected Impact

Members from SDGs Partnership Management Committee (SPMC) all demonstrated strong technical and innovative experiences in different development fields.\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nBased on these experiences,this initiative will :\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nbuild up the Industry SDGs Promotion Cooperation Mechanism, \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nprovides basic SDGs general education for industries and for public, \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nenhance the sustainable development awareness of decision-makers and practitioners at all levels; \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nevaluate and authorize qualified institutions as training partners to jointly conduct training for Corporate Sustainability Management (CSM)program, and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD); \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nprovides annual exchanges, sharing and visiting opportunities on SDGs practice and lower carbon emission practice for professionals and public \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nAnd to promote the whole institute participant in SDGs achievement in China.\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nIn specific:\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n1. Each year will organize the SDGs Industrial Participation and Innovation Round Table Conference to promote understanding and implementation of SDGs and dual-carbon policies for better sustainable business environment and a green circular economy transformation. It will also provide opportunities for sharing, learning, communication and display SDGs implementation and services for more than 300 companies and institutions in three years.\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n2.Provides 2 TOT workshops to promote CSM for green industry transition and ESD for 200 professionals each year. A think tank and expertise trainers of 30 professionals from Sustainability management field and institutions will be established to train these CSM and ESD instructors. \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n3.SDGs good practice visits and exchanges among industries internationally and domestically to promote green industry transition for 100 professionals at least once a year. \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n4.Conduct SDGs general training with standard curriculum and courses within the certified SDG education center integrating with outdoor activities and enriched sustainable environment. It is estimated that at least 1,000 candidates will be trained and materials including TV channel will reach 100,000 people across China.

Capacity

1.The Corporate Sustainability Management (CSM) Training program includes three courses: \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n“Sustainable Development Planning, Performance and Reporting”\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n“Low-Carbon Production, Circular Economy and Carbon Trading”\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nAnd “Public Incentivizing Green Behaviors of Consumers and Responsible Production and Consumption”. \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nIt will be delivered by experts from SPMC and leading institutions both domestic and international in the practical fields. It will also formulate standards, certification and methodology of SDGs promotion in business fields. Promote international cooperation and increase the global influence of domestic recycling enterprises. \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nIt requires participants to complete at least 60 hours’training with these three courses, \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nand pass the exam (60% of the exam scores are qualified) to obtain the CSM certificate. \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nCSM certificate holders must have 20 hours mandatory continuing education every year to ensure that their expertise is up-to-date. \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nThe training system and materials developed could also contribute to a global and regional exchange.\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n2.For public awareness raising and participation in SDGs, we will:\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nDevelop and improve 3 set of SDGs general education training packages \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nTwo levels’ training system ( TOT and Training for SDGs general education)\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nRespectively for all age groups (preschool, elementary and middle schools, and adults).\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nThese course will be held both on line and offline. \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nIt includes training manual，teaching and learning reading materials, and evaluation tools for SDGs, how it linked to our daily life and professions, how it will be achieved with public participation, etc. for systematic standardized courses taken by respective candidate groups. By setting up TOT and Training for SDGs general education, these packages will be used by trained trainers to conduct standard training in different SDGs education centers. It can ensure young students’ understanding and practice of SDGs and related issues, and build sustainable development learning capabilities.
