Online Training for Educators for South-East Asia: Empowering Sustainable Agriculture for Land Restoration “Trigger Change! Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Agriculture for Land Restoration”
In March 2024, the UNCCD/G20 Global Land Initiative (G20 GLI), in collaboration with top universities and experts, including TH Köln and the Centers for Natural Resources and Development (CNRD) network, launched a global course titled “Trigger Change!

The next step is the organization of five virtual Training of Instructors (ToI) workshops, led by TH Köln and its partner universities across various regions: Africa, Southeast Asia, the Arab States, Europe, and Latin America.
