GEPP Executive Summer School on Global Environmental Policy

With this message I send you a brochure that presents the aims, content and practical information about the GEPP Executive Summer School on Global Environmental Policy to be organised by the University of Geneva, in partnership with UNEP, from 1st to 13th September 2013.

In the unique International Geneva setting, the Executive Summer School provides a special opportunity for participants from both the public and the private sectors to enlarge their competences in order to address complex environmental issues. Beyond enlarging the knowledge base of each participant, the modules of this transdisciplinary programme bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and concrete decision-making, problem-solving and negotiation skills.

The GEPP Executive Summer School aims to bring together not more than 25 selected participants with diverse origins and professional backgrounds, including decision makers from the public and private sectors, and non-governmental organisations. The closing date for applications is 31st March 2013. More information about GEPP, including the programme of the Executive Summer School held in September 2012, can be consulted at: www.unige.ch/gepp/ess.

We would be pleased if you could distribute this information to people in your networks. Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Jean Chamel, our Scientific Secretary (jean.chamel@unige.ch) if you have questions.
