Education training & capacity building

The Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific works closely with UNEP's Division of Environmental Policy Implementation on activities such as advisory services, pilot projects, education and other capacity building support, and coordination of response to environmental emergencies.

REGIONAL PROGRAMMES
The Network for Environmental Training at Tertiary Level in Asia and the Pacific (NETTLAP) consists of institutions and individuals active in environmental education and training at tertiary (e.g. university, technical institute, teacher training college) level in the region. NETTLAP develops and applies innovative methods in environmental training; identifies regional training needs and shares knowledge through ongoing interaction amongst network partners. Focus thusfar has been human resources development in the areas of toxic chemicals and hazardous waste management, coastal zone management, and environmental economics.
