It is recommended that participants have a foundational understanding of mobile network technologies, including their structure and components. Additionally, familiarity with public policy, regulation, and governance—especially in the context of telecommunications—would be beneficial, as well as an understanding of how mobile networks are regulated and governed within their respective regions or countries. 

To achieve the learning objectives described, the course content will be covered on four main modules:

1. Module 1: Introduction to ESG and Mobile Networks
   1. Chapter 1: Introduction to ESG and its Relevance to Mobile Networks: this chapter provides an overview of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles and their growing importance in the mobile network sector. Participants will learn about the global sustainability trends and why mobile networks must align with ESG goals to ensure long-term growth, innovation, and responsibility.
   2. Chapter 2: Basics of 4G and 5G Networks: this chapter covers the foundational aspects of 4G and 5G network technologies, focusing on their key components, functionalities, and the evolution from previous generations. It will provide participants with the basic technical context needed to understand how these networks are central to modern mobile communication and how ESG principles can be applied within this framework.
2. Module 2: Environmental and Social Impact of Mobile Networks
   1. Chapter 3: Green Technologies and Sustainability in Mobile Networks: this chapter explores green technologies and sustainable practices in mobile network design and operation. Topics include energy efficiency, carbon footprint reduction, renewable energy sources, and environmentally friendly network components. The chapter aims to help participants understand how mobile networks can be more eco-friendly and contribute to global sustainability.
   2. Chapter 4: Social Impact of Mobile Networks and Social Impact Assessment: this chapter discusses the social implications of mobile networks, including their role in digital inclusion, access to education, healthcare, and overall societal development. Participants will learn methods for assessing social impacts, ensuring that mobile network deployments contribute positively to communities, particularly underserved or vulnerable populations.
3. Module 3: Regulatory and Governance Frameworks for Mobile Networks
   1. Chapter 5: Regulatory Compliance and Governance in Mobile Networks: this chapter addresses the regulatory landscape surrounding mobile networks and ESG principles. It covers global regulatory requirements related to sustainability, such as emissions standards, energy efficiency mandates, and reporting obligations. Participants will also explore governance frameworks that ensure transparency, accountability, and ethical decision-making in the management of mobile networks.
   2. Chapter 6: Implementing ESG Strategies in Mobile Network Operations: this chapter guides participants on how to integrate ESG strategies into day-to-day mobile network operations. Topics include setting ESG goals, implementing policies to reduce environmental impact, fostering social responsibility, and establishing governance structures that align with ESG standards. 
4. Module 4: Practical Application and Case Studies
   1. Chapter 7: Case Studies and Practical Applications: this final chapter presents real-world case studies from mobile network operators and governments that have successfully implemented ESG strategies. Participants will analyze these cases to understand the challenges, solutions, and outcomes of applying ESG principles in mobile networks. This chapter will also include interactive activities, allowing participants to apply their knowledge to hypothetical scenarios.

This course is based on a learning approach consisting of a number of pre-recorded videos with a duration of 15 to 20 minutes each and instructor moderation/interaction via the online forum. The videos will be produced using the latest industry standards regarding the presentation and using embedded quizzes (to prevent the “fast forwarding effect”) and to engage learners and reinforce key concepts.

For the benefit of varying instructional methods, interactive presentations will also be used to deliver certain course contents to replace pre-recorded videos. In addition to those videos and interactive presentations, supplementary texts/articles/webpages will be provided, offering learners an opportunity to deepen their understanding and explore the topics covered in more detail. The texts will be chosen to complement the offered content and provide learners with additional insights and perspectives. This methodology is intended to provide a comprehensive and interactive learning experience, enabling learners to engage with the course material at their own pace and from different perspectives.

Also, an instructor will monitor the mandatory course forum weekly in order to answer questions, promote relevant discussions, challenges, questions and problems, in addition to publish news on the subject. The instructor will also encourage learners to share national contexts, situations.
