GRID-Arendal has evolved into a world leader in environmental carto(graphics)®,
with an annual output of hundreds of maps, graphs and illustrations covering most
environmental issues.
GRID-Arendal is also coordinating the production of UNEP’s vital graphics®
packages, to provide a minimal amount of information about an issue in an attractive
format (graphics) to facilitate decision-making. In 2002, two vital graphics® series
were published:
Water Management in the World
and
Climate Change in Africa
.
The carto(graphic) team was also instrumental in publishing the
Environment &
Poverty Times
.
Information products from GRID-Arendal were published in the Norwegian and
international press.
