Our goal is nothing less than the transformation of the
way we do business on this planet. This requires that
society be transformed so that it understands, values and
protects the environment on which it depends.
To get there we work with closely with the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and many other
partners to support sustainable development – a future
that recognizes the essential links between the planet,
ecosystems and the people that depend upon them.
We take complex scientific information and turn it into
material that is used in decision-making by political leaders,
policy makers and the general population. This information
comes in many forms: graphic reports, photographs, videos,
social media and other innovative forms of communications.
We are focused on results. GRID-Arendal’s message is
delivered by our small staff via presentations to international
meetings and conferences, collaborations with universities
and other learning institutions, articles and peer-reviewed
scientific publications.
