Annual Report 2009

Featured publications GRID-Arendal has started the production of eBooks with multimedia features. These provide better options for accessing, viewing, and interacting with informa- tion; reach a wider audience and reduce the organiza- tion’s carbon footprint. Recognizing its potential, this format was considered by UNEP for its publications. The production of UNEP publications in eBook format by GRID-Arendal will strengthen the cooperation with UNEP, adding to regular development of graphics for UNEP’s magazine “Our Planet”. 
