Explore how different sustainability practitioners are using the Ecological Footprint Tool to strengthen their work. At this hands-on training course, participants will gain insight into how the Ecological Footprint is being used for ecological accounting, as a policy tool for accelerating sustainability, for planning and evaluation support, and for powerful communication. The goal is to show ways how the Footprint might strengthen the participants’ own work.
The training will be conducted by Dr. Mathis Wackernagel, co-creator of the Ecological Footprint with training support from the IUCN Learning and Leadership Unit.
Please find attached the schedule and registration form for your information.
Global Footprint Network looks forward to your partipation.
Very best wishes,
