One UN Training Service Platform on Climate Change UN CC:Learn
The UN CC:Learn initiative was started in 2009 as a collaboration of UN agencies committed to 
support and contribute to effective, results-oriented and sustainable learning to address climate 
change and related development challenges. UN CC:Learn includes three Programme Areas which 
are closely linked to each other:
I. Knowledge Management and Networking 
II. Development of a One UN Climate Change Learning Package
III. Strengthening Human Resource Capacities in Partner Countries
The three Programme Areas collectively contribute to the implementation of Article 6 of the UN 
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the UNFCCC Capacity Development 
Framework. UN CC:Learn also contributes to the implementation of the 2005 Paris Declaration on 
Aid Effectiveness by supporting country-driven processes, fostering co-ordination and alignment of 
external support, and promoting a results-oriented approach to climate change learning.
UN CC:Learn is included in the “One UN Climate Change Action Framework” of the UN System Chief 
Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) through the High Level Committee on Programmes (HLCP). 
To date, 33 multilateral organizations are collaborating in UN CC:Learn. A UN CC:Learn Steering Group 
comprised of UN partner agencies provides guidance for UN CC:Learn activities. The Secretariat is 
provided by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). 
Funding for the 2011-2013 pilot implementation phase of UN CC:Learn is provided by the Government 
of Switzerland.
