Electronic Tools

Electronic tools for capacity development are interactive and flexible sets of learning possibilities (e.g., electronic courses, modules, videos), which allow participants the possibility to learn at their own pace.

E-learning courses are interactive training sessions that consist of one or more modules or chapters. E-learning courses can track progress in learning and can be taken in different sessions, following the individual pace of the learners.

Some e-learning courses related to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions are available in the InforMEA portal in the “Chemical and Waste” cluster. For example:

  • Introductory Course to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal and Regional
  • Introductory Course to the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International
  • Introductory Course to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants
  • Basic Principles of Chairing and Role of the Chairs of Meetings of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions

Additionally, other e-learning courses are available in other platforms:

The Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions and their linkages with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions and their linkages with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The overall aim of this course is to guide Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions, and those interested in these topics, on the linkages between the three conventions and their contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The course explains, in an interactive way with text, videos, animations and exercises, how each convention and their respective mechanisms for sharing information are used to measure SDGs’ indicators. The course is designed for learners to work flexibly at their own pace. And at the end of the course, users can obtain a certificate.

E-learning module for law enforcement officers

E-learning module for law enforcement officers

Interpol and the Secretariat have jointly developed an e-learning module for law enforcement officers on hazardous chemicals and wastes under the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions. The legal international trade in chemicals and wastes is an important part of the global economy, but it is crucial that this trade be effectively controlled.

Modules

Online training modules are short courses of one to three hours on key topics for the implementation of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions. Modules provide an interactive self-training opportunity to become knowledgeable of main provisions of the three conventions.
