Climate competence through immersive learning
A large international development organization has equipped its global workforce and its government partners with fundamental knowledge of nature-based solutions (NBS), a key tool to combat climate change.
The result: an evolving immersive learning experience that built the literacy of the transversal climate, supported alignment before training in the world teams and laid the foundations for resilient development in the climate.
Accessible through a centralized and structured learning platform around case studies in the real world, this scenario course has helped learners to connect political, economic and technical strategies through the shared lens of environmental resilience.
Introduction: fill the lake with climatic knowledge thanks to the development of skills
The worsening of the climate state highlights the critical need for sustainable and effective development approaches. For a leading global development institution, this resulted in an urgent internal need: to empower its staff and its government counterparts with the tools and ideas necessary to design and implement nature -based interventions.
Recognizing a gap in basic knowledge in its world teams, the organization has teamed up with IS to create a 75 minutes Elearning at your own pace Course that contextualized NB by sectoral, governance and economic lenses.
The course has become a fundamental pre-training tool, ensuring that learners have entered person in person with clarity, alignment and shared understanding of the way in which nature-based solutions stimulate climate action.
Customer overview: International Development Institution with global scope
With a global footprint, the organization supports governments and communities by financing, technical assistance and political advice, focusing on sustainable development and poverty reduction. His climate investment arm has recognized a key skills gap and prioritized economists, field practitioners and decision -makers to achieve the way in which nature -based solutions can be applied effectively in sectors such as agriculture, water, town planning and disasters.
The challenge: gaps in fundamental knowledge and the application of nature -based solutions
Despite their proven potential, nature-based solutions have remained underused due to the low awareness of stakeholders. The main challenges included:
- Inconsistent reference knowledge between internal teams and government partners.
- Exhibition limited to practical examples of the NBS of the real world.
- Unknown with economic and sectoral applications.
- Fragmented understanding in global regions and disciplines.
This knowledge gap had an impact on collaboration, slowed down the development of projects and has limited the integration of NB into intelligent climate planning. An learning program based on the scenario was necessary to unify understanding and allow an informed decision -making.
The solution: learning based on the scenario to give life to climatic concepts
To achieve this objective, EI has developed a digital learning program based on learning principles for adults, rich visuals and relatable scenarios. The 75 -minute course was built using Articulated scenario and structured in five progressive modules.
Key characteristics of the learning experience
Real world scenario
The course follows a fictitious province which sails on the water problems linked to the climate. The learners explored how NB, such as reforestation, restoration of wetlands and natural infrastructure, could be used to mitigate risks and improve results.
Conversational design
Learning took place through realistic interactions of character. Conversations between local leaders, technical experts and economists have brought nuances and emotional links with content.
Authentic infographic and imaging
Personalized visuals and real photographs of NBS projects have been used to illustrate interventions through the coasts, cities, agricultural land, wetlands and forests.
Case study harvested
Each section ended with a real case study presenting the results of the global NBS initiatives, connecting theory to practical implementation.
Interactive control points
The learners applied key concepts through questions based on scenarios and received instant comments to strengthen learning.
Rigorous evaluation
A final assessment required a score of 80% to complete the course, ensuring knowledge retention and preparation for more advanced programs.
Measurable results and impact
Although formal measures are always collected, the first results indicate significant advantages:
- Basic alignment. The course has aligned a diversified cohort of learners, including internal staff and external stakeholders, on the fundamentals of the NBS.
- Evolutionary pre-training integration. It now serves as a compulsory precursor to all training sessions in person on climate resilience and environmental policy.
- Positive feedback from the learner. Users appreciated realistic scenarios, visual design and sectoral examples. Case studies have been highlighted as particularly insightful.
Strategic alignment and future perspectives
The course supports the wider objective of the organization to promote resilient development and the development of intelligent climatic policies. It reflects a transition from the dissemination of knowledge to strengthening skills, preparing learners for real challenges in urban development, agriculture, water management, etc.
Conclusion: capacity to strengthen a livable planet
The fundamental course of the NBS has strengthened the alignment between internal teams and external stakeholders, supported informed political dialogue and contributed to wider development objectives resilients to the climate.
Thanks to the learning -based learning, case studies in the real world and structured educational design, the program has shown how digital training can develop fundamental skills and support large -scale sustainable development results.
