The “Sustainable Development in Practice” e-courses have earned three prestigious gold awards at the renowned Brandon Hall Excellence Awards. Developed in 2024, this course series triumphed in the Human Capital Management category, winning top honors for Best Certification Program, Best Competencies and Skill Development, and Best Results of a Learning Program.
The Brandon Hall Excellence Awards, established in 1993 by the Brandon Hall Group, are often referred to as the “Academy Awards” for Learning, Talent, and Business Executives. These awards celebrate organizations that have successfully designed and implemented programs, strategies, tools, and processes that deliver measurable outcomes.
DelphianLogic, UNITAR’s instructional design partner, played an instrumental role in the success of the series, from development to implementation. It was DelphianLogic that submitted the course series for consideration at the awards, further highlighting the team’s crucial contribution.
This is the second time that UNITAR/UN CC:Learn has won a Brando Hall award. In 2021, both UNITAR and DelphianLogic won gold in Excellence in Learning for the Green Economy and Trade and Green Fiscal Policy e-courses.
The “Sustainable Development Series” is a two-part learning series hosted on UN CC:e-Learn that examines an integrated approach to sustainable development and why countries should prioritize it. The series explores the rationale, drivers, challenges, and opportunities for addressing environmental, climate, and poverty issues in an integrated manner. It builds on UNDP/UNEP’s Poverty-Environment Action for Sustainable Development project (UNDP-UNEP PEA), which aimed to bring poverty, environment, and climate objectives into the heart of development plans, policies, budgets, public and private finance in partner countries.
The course has attracted significant global attention, with over 9,178 certificates awarded to learners worldwide.
