Grid-Arendal

Established in 1989, GRID-Arendal’s mission is to create environmental knowledge that encourages positive change. We do this by organizing and transforming available environmental data into credible, science-based information products, delivered through innovative communication tools and capacity building services targeting relevant stakeholders. GRID-Arendal is a UNEP partner and works closely with other UN agencies and partners around the world to connect science to policy. Our goal is to shorten the distance between the emergence of new science and policy actions. We seek to influence thinking and action at the level of the global community on issues that require collective action because we cannot solve many problems through action at the national level alone.
