 and transnational advocacy work? focuses on key individuals who can benefit the most from short training modules based on quality lecturers and peer-to-peer experience sharing and can thereafter help to strengthen the existing networks and play a vital ro
le in mainstreaming the cross-cutting themes of climate change gender equality and human rights based development.The six training packages are following:2013. Climate change resource scarcity conflicts and human security: what role UN Security Council can
 play and how to involve civil society?2013. Women peace and security: peer-to-peer learning as a tool to make the action plans work.2014. Indigenous people and sustainable development: making the most out of the Indigenous Peoples? World Summit held in co
