GRID-Arendal, an office in the UN Environment Programme Division of
Early Warning and Assessment, is located in southern Norway. Established
in 1989 as a Norwegian foundation, GRID-Arendal's mission is to provide
environmental information, communications, and capacity building
services for information management and assessment. Together with its

processes aimed at securing a sustainable future.

Activities and geographic focus are broad, but GRID-Arendal has a

assessments and early warning issues, with particular focus on the
Arctic.
