5 The UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development The UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development was officially opened in January 2016 in Bonn, Germany.
Our mission is to respond to the comprehensive learning, training, and knowledge management needs of UN staff and partners in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as well as the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 100 |
Together they form the most comprehensive blueprint to date for eliminating extreme poverty, reducing inequality, and protecting the planet.
Along with the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, they constitute an integral plan of action for people, planet, and prosperity which requires all countries and stakeholders to act in concert.
The sustainable development agenda demands new approaches to knowledge and skills development for all actors. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 97 |
Development progress requires holistic thinking, moving beyond separate mandates and structures and exploring linkages between different thematic issues.
The 2030 Agenda requires an issues-based modus operandi, fostering new partnerships to identify key problems and opportunities, leveraging diverse means of implementation, and facilitating joint action to ensure progress and maximise results.
Life-long learning must therefore be seen as a key component of personal as well as organisational development. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 99 |
At the UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development, we are committed to facilitating catalytic learning across the UN system and beyond in support of sustainable development results.
6 Achieving the 2030 Agenda requires a holistic and integrated approach The 2030 Agenda is universal in scope and commits all countries to contribute towards a comprehensive effort towards sustainable development. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 85 |
It seeks to benefit all people—leaving no one behind—which implies the demand for local and disaggregated data to analyse outcomes and track progress.
It rests on the interconnected and indivisible nature of its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which should be implemented in their entirety instead of being approached as a menu list of individual goals from which entities can pick and choose.
The 2030 Agenda is also inclusive—calling for the participation of all segments of society. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 115 |
Their diverse contributions, experiences, and knowledge must be mobilised through multi-stakeholder partnerships in order to support the achievement of SDGs in all countries.
At the heart of the 2030 Agenda are five critical dimensions— people, prosperity, planet, partnership, and peace, also known as the 5P’s. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 75 |
Traditionally viewed through the lens of three core elements—social inclusion, economic growth, and environmental protection—the concept of sustainable development takes on a richer meaning with the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, which builds upon this traditional approach by adding two critical components: partnership and peace.
Genuine sustainability sits at the core of these five dimensions.
The five dimensions inform development policy decisions. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 87 |
This means that for a development intervention to be sustainable, it must take into account the social, economic, and environmental consequences it generates, and lead to conscious choices in terms of the trade-offs, synergies, and spin-offs it creates.
Additionally, policy makers need to ensure that any intervention is developed, owned, and carried forward with the relevant partnerships and leverages the appropriate means of implementation. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 87 |
In this way, the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs together represent a holistic approach to understanding and tackling problems, by guiding us to ask the right questions at the right time.
7 The Rubik’s cube of sustainable development At the UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development, we promote a holistic and integrated approach to solving the development challenges of today and the future.
The 2030 Agenda rests on the interconnected and indivisible nature of its SDGs. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 117 |
It is crucial that all entities responsible for the implementation of SDGs treat them in their entirety instead of approaching them as a menu list of individual goals from which they pick and choose.
Contrary to what many believe, the SDGs do not represent the Agenda in its entirety.
They are not a summary of the Agenda, but rather serve as focus areas necessary to achieve sustainable development.
The 17 goals should be seen as indispensable pieces in a big and complex puzzle. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 110 |
In order to truly understand the Agenda, one needs to look at the puzzle as a whole, but at the same time, it is impossible to complete the puzzle without those pieces.
Just like a Rubik’s cube, achieving sustainable development requires us to address multiple problems in different dimensions at the same time. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 66 |
Learning at the UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development The 2030 Agenda profoundly challenges the way development partners work as it requires enhanced multisectoral as well as cross-institutional integration.
To address the requirements of the 2030 Agenda, the UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development integrates knowledge across UN agency mandates and thematic pillars of sustainable development. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 92 |
The UNSSC Knowledge Centre fosters inter-agency coherence and strengthens dialogue and networks within and beyond the UN system.
The UNSSC Knowledge Centre’s role in inter-agency learning, knowledge sharing, and knowledge management enhances coherence of development interventions and increases operational and conceptual capacity of UN staff as well as a multitude of other partners. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 83 |
The capacity development approach of the UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development is organised around six interdependent building blocks: 8 9 We strengthen your capacities to deliver on the 2030 Agenda For the UN development system, the 2030 Agenda implies the need for accelerating system-wide alignment to the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs as called for in the UN Secretary-General’s recommendations for Repositioning the United Nations development system to deliver on the 2030 Agenda. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 119 |
This means strengthening the “right system-wide capacities” to become a transformed UN, supported by a “new generation of UN Country Teams” and a “reinvigorated Resident Coordinator system”. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 45 |
The UNSSC Knowledge Centre offers a range of trainings targeted towards addressing these new learning needs demanded by the 2030 Agenda including in the areas of: Country-specific programming: Offering system-wide expertise and programming based on a deep understanding of national context and a holistic approach towards SDGs; Results-focused programming: Enhancing capacities in delivering and communicating for results in a coordinated and consistent manner; Scenario planning: Employing methodologies and approaches that take volatility and complexity as their starting point to generate insights that enable transformative actions toward inclusive and sustainable development; Partnerships: Strengthening linkages and partnerships across agencies and with local authorities, parliaments, civil society, subregional, regional and international institutions, academia, businesses and philanthropic organisations; Leadership: Employing innovative approaches to drive system-wide support and coherence. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 204 |
Achieving the Agenda also requires more systematic multi-stakeholder engagement and partnerships beyond the UN system.
We know that government agencies, the private sector, civil society, academia, foundations and philanthropic organisations, are eager to mobilise action for the 2030 Agenda.
A number of our courses aim to build on this interest to foster dialogue, enhance the sharing of good practices and leverage the comparative advantages of different partners in implementing the Agenda. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 104 |
These courses aim to strengthen critical skills and competencies for implementing the 2030 Agenda especially in areas such as building and cultivating multi-stakeholder partnerships and leveraging South-South cooperation, as well as in policy coherence, big data, and substantive knowledge of the dimensions of sustainable development and thematic areas under the Agenda. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 75 |

21 Designed in partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO) Social Protection Department, this online course equips participants with a solid understanding of social protection and its relevance for sustainable development. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 41 |
The course will showcase experiences from countries representing different contexts and regions on work done to extend social protection in the context of the 2030 Agenda Introduction The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lay out a set of key development objectives for developed and developing countries alike to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 89 |
Among the priorities agreed upon by Member States is social protection—repeatedly cited in the agenda as a primary means to reduce poverty and combat inequality.
For instance, the high-ranking SDG 1.3 calls countries to “implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable.” Currently, an estimated 73 per cent of the world’s population lives without adequate social protection coverage. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 104 |
This means the ambitious objective set out by the 2030 Agenda will require concerted efforts from across the spectrum of UN and national actors, joining up disparate interventions and leveraging new tools to achieve the 2030 target. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 52 |

23 This joint UN Climate Change-UNSSC online course offers a holistic and integrated approach to climate change and demonstrates the interlinkages and interdependencies between sustainable development and climate change to make informed policy choices towards low- carbon and climate resilient sustainable development.
Introduction Climate change is a cross-cutting development issue that affects every aspect of sustainable development and the entire 2030 Agenda. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 91 |
The Paris Agreement on Climate Change, along with the 2030 Agenda, including the Sustainable Development Goals, forms the most comprehensive blueprint to date for eliminating extreme poverty, reducing inequality, and protecting the planet.
Together with the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, these documents constitute an integral plan of action for people, our planet, and prosperity, which requires all countries and stakeholders to act together. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 108 |
Sustainable development and climate action are deeply interconnected and inter-dependent. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 16 |
For example: Achieving zero-hunger cannot be done without protecting food systems; Cities and communities cannot be sustainable without adequate protection from extreme weather events; Ensuring children’s health is not possible without addressing the increase in climate change- driven vector-borne diseases; Economic development cannot be sustainable without reversing over-reliance on carbon- intensive energy sources. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 86 |

26 Designed in partnership with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), this online course shows how disaster risk reduction contributes to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 97 |
It also promotes the cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder approaches required to implement the 2030 Agenda and the Sendai Framework coherently.
Introduction Resilience to risks of various threats, including those related to climate change and economic shocks, is crucial for eradicating extreme poverty and a key enabler of sustainable development overall.
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a crucial development strategy for ending extreme poverty. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 100 |
Among other areas, aiming for sustainable development means aiming for healthy, durable livelihoods, strengthening education, reducing poverty, building sustainable cities and protecting the environment, thus reducing people’s vulnerability towards disasters and working towards the 2030 Agenda’s aim of leaving no one behind.
A risk-informed, multi-dimensional approach to development programming is needed, which anticipates and reduces or avoids risks, including those that may arise from programming. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 101 |
Following an inclusive, all-of-society approach and supporting the do-no-harm-principle, the 2030 Agenda can only be achieved if the multitude of stakeholders involved in development planning work together towards resilience by taking risk-informed decisions, and thus move from managing disasters to managing risks. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1697007990677.pdf | https://www.unssc.org/sites/default/files/kcsd_course_overview.pdf | 72 |
