The Director of the Training, Capacity Building, and Consultation Center, and the Executive Director of the Society, trainer Maan Nasaireh, said that Level One of the diploma covers a set of important topics, most notably sustainable environmental management, environmental legislation and governance, green and circular economy, natural resource management, sustainable development goals, green growth, and occupational safety and health.
