GRID-Arendal's Strategy 2025-2030 sets out a bold and transformative vision for the next six years. Building on over three decades of experience, this strategy positions GRID-Arendal as a leading organisation for environmental insight, innovation, and impact. It responds to the urgency of the triple planetary crisis - climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, with a firm commitment to systemic change. By shifting the underlying systems, structures, and social norms that perpetuate environmental harm, the strategy calls for a new era of co-creation, shared learning, and inclusive action.

What You’ll Find

This publication lays out GRID-Arendal's strategic direction across five key priorities:

• Transformative Responses to Environmental Change

• Knowledge-Based and Science-Based Decision-Making

• Human-Nature Reconnection

• Resilience and Adaptation

• Transformative Thought Leadership

Each priority is linked to specific outcomes and indicators, showing how GRID-Arendal will measure progress and deliver results. The strategy also introduces the organisation’s values and principles, such as equity, courage, and co-creation, which guide its internal culture and external collaborations. It includes a robust framework for monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation, ensuring relevance in a dynamic global context.

Why It Matters

The triple planetary crisis demands not just better solutions, but fundamentally different ways of working. GRID-Arendal’s strategy goes beyond surface-level fixes, aiming to shift how we relate to each other and the natural world. By embracing values-led, transformative change, this strategy is both a call to action and a roadmap for a future where people and nature thrive together. It provides a model for how environmental organisations can lead with integrity, inclusivity, and impact.
