UNEP is launching the first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Marine Litter to raise awareness against marine litter and promote solutions to plastic pollution in our oceans.

The MOOC is offered in collaboration with the Open Universiteit in the Netherlands and incorporates case studies that will inspire leadership at all levels.

Students can choose to enroll in the two-week leadership track starting on October 26th, Monday, and continue to an eight-week expert track, in case they wish to learn more.
A certificate of participation can be obtained by students after their completion of both the Leadership Track and the Expert Track. Students will also receive free access to all course materials on a 24 hour online platform.

The course provides examples and case studies to increase awareness of and stimulate creative solutions to marine litter problems. Moreover, this course will benefit policymakers, practitioners, and managers who wish to connect with other professionals in order to enhance their knowledge of marine litter issues.
