GRID-Centres are made of a team of data scientists who on top of their technical expertise also fully understandthe UNEP mandates, thus helping to bring the most relevant data and information. The main functions of a GRID-Centre are to acquire data, transforming them into information and knowledge about the state of the world’s environment in a timely andunderstandable manner, before disseminating these to support environmental governance and policies.
