The Global Resource Information Database (GRID) Centers have been created by UNEP since mid-1980s to support its mandate of keeping the world environment under review with data analytics. Each center is made up of data scientists who acquire, handle and analyze environmental and natural resource issues through Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing imageries, in situ data and/ or statistical data; transform data into evidence-based information and knowledge; and disseminate them in a timely and understandable manner to enhance the science-policy interface.
