Testimonial:

“The course exceeded my high expectations from CIWEM and was expertly delivered by Ece, Allan and Bruce. The online format worked well and it was very useful to have plenty of discussion and contributions from the other delegates. The quality of the module slides and extensive additional resources provided was especially good and very comprehensive.

I really enjoyed the course which has given me a good insight into many of our environmental challenges, the development of environmental economics and the real value of improving our natural capital for the future. ”
