In partnership with Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launches a new online training on “Impact Measurement and Management for the SDGs,” available free on the Coursera platform.

How can businesses and investors help fill the multi-trillion dollar gap needed for sustainable development? Simply put, by getting better at measuring and managing impacts on people and planet. Through this course, anyone can learn to improve their organization’s practice of impact management, and how to align their ESG or impact activities and reporting with emerging global standards.

The course teaches investors and enterprises how to integrate impact management practices – in line with the UNDP SDG Impact Standards – into their decision making, and how to operate more sustainably and increase their contributions towards achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in future.
