Stories GRID-Arendal’s work covers all parts of our troubled planet. Whether raising global awareness about the scourge of environmental crime, supporting governance of developing coastal states or exploring the challenges of thawing permafrost in the Arctic and mountain regions, our focus is on solutions. It’s no longer enough to simply present problems. Instead, new ideas, efforts and solutions are required, that go into resolving these problems. This year’s Annual Report gives a small sample of GRID-Arendal’s more than 50 projects. We hope you find them interesting and inspiring. 8 10
