A collaborative effort of UNDP’s Sustainable Finance, Climate and Energy teams, Introduction to Sustainable Finance for Climate and Energy is the first free online course to introduce critical concepts in climate and energy finance to a global audience. This course provides learners with concrete tools for financing climate and energy targets, including sovereign debt instruments (green bonds, blue bonds, debt-for-nature swaps), carbon markets, and innovative private finance solutions – underpinned by Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs). The course also provides a foundation for measuring impact on climate and energy targets (IMM), and for de-risking sustainable investments in climate and energy.

Prompt engineering is a relatively new discipline for developing and optimizing prompts to efficiently use language models (LMs) for a wide variety of applications and research topics. Prompt engineering skills help to better understand the capabilities and limitations of large language models (LLMs). Researchers use prompt engineering to improve the capacity of LLMs on a wide range of common and complex tasks such as question answering and arithmetic reasoning. Developers use prompt engineering to design robust and effective prompting techniques that interface with LLMs and other tools. Motivated by the high interest in developing with LLMs

Human behaviour is often unpredictable, shaped by various factors like biases and mental shortcuts. How can we further enhance our initiatives to account for this wide range of influences on behaviour?
