About the Network
GCO Knowledge Hub
In addition to regular meetings, we provide our network members with online learning modules and case studies in the fast moving field of climate change.

This is a collection of external courses and other resources that will support our Green City Officers (and all other interested stakeholders) to build a foundational level of knowledge to foster climate action in their cities.
Some of these modules are free and open to all, for others we provide a subscription to GCO network members.
