About GRID-Arendal

GRID-Arendal was established in 1989 to support environmentally sustainable development by working with UN Environment and other partners. We communicate environmental knowledge that strengthens management capacity and motivates decision-makers to act. We transform environmental data into credible, science-based information products, delivered through innovative communication tools and capacity building services. Our vision is a society that understands, values and protects the environment on which it depends.

History

GRID-Arendal was established in 1989 through agreement between the UN Environment and the Norwegian Ministry, a result of the Environment World Commission on Environment and Development (Brundtland Commission). GRID-Arendal is a foundation under Norwegian law. In 2001, GRID-Arendal was designated an official UNEP Centre. A new framework agreement was signed with UNEP in 2014 that renewed cooperation targeting polar regions, marine environment, communications and outreach, environmental assessments and capacity building in developing states.
