Not UK but worldwide, starting 5 Oct 2020. It's a free course from Future Learn. If you have not done any of their courses before, it's all online, not online events but you work through material online as a new section is released each week (at your convenience). Course has a start, new sections released each week and ends and material stays up for a few weeks longer. I've done quite a few courses with Future Learn and they are reputable (I've not got SPAM or pestered or anything, no ads (so not a Google/Facebook)). They are genuinely free but if you want a certificate you can pay and if you want material available forever you can pay - but the course is free (I've never paid anything). You register, join the course and login to get access. Courses are created and run by various educational institutions around the world. This IUCN Red List of Ecosystems course is created and run by Deakin University (Australia). In many respects Future Learn is the platform Universities use to run these courses. www.futurelearn.com/courses/global-standard-for-assessing-risks-to-ecosystemsLink above has quite a lot of info about the course (overview, what you'll learn, schedule, etc.) but very bried one line summary Course is estimated at 4 hrs a week for 2 weeks - so a short course. Course stays online for several weeks after "end" in case you drop behind or go slower (so end of each week, that weeks course stays online). Just raising it in case anybody is interested. Ian
