GRID-Arendal: 30 Years of Making a Difference

GRID-Arendal pioneered an innovation within UNEP. In co- operation with the Norwegian Ministry of the Environment, the Internet version of the State of the Environment Report Norway 1995 was produced. This multi-media national report was the first of its kind and received endorsement from UNEP as a reference for the production and dissemination of similar reports. GRID-Arendal’s Arctic work was strengthened by the support from the Government of Russia. The Russian Minister of the Environment, Mr. Viktor Danilov-Danilyan and the Norwegian Minister of Environment, Mr. Thorbjørn Berntsen, took part in the seminar The Role of the Electronic Highway in the Preparation of Environmental Information for Decision-Making hosted by GRID-Arendal.
