Abstract :
This study aimed at investigating and prioritizing the pathology of organizational training on financial and non-financial mechanisms of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) by a diagnostic trichotomy model. This study was exploratory research and its methodology was developmental and applied research method. In terms of data collection was combined (quantitative and qualitative) research. The review documents and semi-structured interviews were used as data collection tools. In order to analyze the data, the content analysis for classifying method was used and interviews were conducted with 40 elite and specialists, who were selected purposefully. At the first stage, After extracting 212 barriers and removing repeated elements, 44 relevant concepts and contents classified into one of the three (structural, behavioral, environmental/context) dimensions of the model as a questionnaire. Through Lawshe content validity, 36 barriers were selected and reliability by 0.812 Cronbach coefficient alpha were confirmed. Thereafter, this obstacles were prioritized by Fuzzy Delphi method. At the third stage, it was examined how each barriers related legal, economic, political, administrative and environmental conditions influenced each other’s through ISM and MICMAC techniques. The results demonstrated that after international and national laws and legal issues, educational process was second effective item. Need assessment for different levels and stakeholders, lack of instructors familiar with the subject and lack of appropriate educational contents as the priority issues had been recognized.
