I have been interested in education ever since teaching summer remedial classes for primary school students as a college student, and have frequently had occasion to develop educational and training programmes in support of my work for governments and international organizations. This has ranged from curriculum materials for primary and secondary schools and training materials in rural environmental management for use in village areas through films and other supporting audiovisual materials to in-service training programmes for professionals and graduate level university courses. I have designed and taught programmes for certificates of advanced studies in sustainable development, environmental diplomacy, and management of development projects, and on-line courses in sustainable development. Now that I am retired, I am particularly interested in sharing my experience with younger generations, and occasionally lecture to primary and secondary school classes as well as university courses and workshops.
