Om oss
Established in 1989, GRID-Arendal’s mission is to create environmental knowledge that encourages positive change. We do this by organizing and transforming available environmental data into credible, science-based information products, delivered through innovative communication tools and capacity building services targeting relevant stakeholders. GRID-Arendal is a UNEP partner and works closely with other UN agencies and partners around the world to connect science to policy. Our goal is to shorten the distance between the emergence of new science and policy actions. We seek to influence thinking and action at the level of the global community on issues that require collective action because we cannot solve many problems through action at the national level alone.

🎉What a fantastic Plastdag 2024! 🎉 Last Thursday, we welcomed about 100 passionate participants to the Tekna Meeting Center. Huge thanks to everyone who took part, whether on stage, in the audience, or tuning in online! 🙌 The day kicked off with a breakfast session, featuring presentations about plastic pollution and the urgency of a global plastics treaty. This was followed by a panel sharing real-world insights into efforts to address plastic pollution, discussing the importance of a holistic approach, cooperation across sectors, and knowledge sharing across different Norwegian initiatives. The seminar explored ‘Innovation and Opportunities in Plastic Management,’ covering topics including sustainable business models, examples of successful innovation projects, different types of plastics and examples of how to deal with plastic waste that is difficult to recycle. Finally, the day concluded with case workshops and dinner. The engagement was inspiring! Couldn’t join us? No worries— a recording of the breakfast meeting is available here and a recording of the seminar will be available here later this week! INGENIØRER UTEN GRENSER NORGE https://ow.ly/ohAC50TMs2V

GRID-Arendal la ut dette på nytt
🎉⭐Takk for en fantastisk Plastdag 2024!!⭐🎉 Rundt hundre engasjerte deltagere tok turen til Tekna Møtesenter denne regnfulle oktober-torsdagen i forrige uke. Varm takk til ALLE som deltok - både fra scenen, i salen og digitalt! ☕ Dagen startet med et frokostmøte med gode innledninger og interessant panelsamtale. Her ble landskapet satt for problemforståelse og viktigheten av en global forpliktende plastavtale. Panelet delte erfaringer fra konkret innsats i internasjonalt plastarbeid, diskuterte blant annet samarbeid mellom privat og humanitær sektor, hvor viktig det er med helhetlig innsats og at ulike norske initiativ kjenner godt til hverandre. En liten høringsrunde for videreføringen av #Norad sitt ‘Bistandsprogram sitt mot marin forsøpling og mikroplast’ ble det også tid til😉 Tusen takk til: Jakob B. Cyvin, Tora Toreng, Anneli Alatalo Paulsen, Tom Eng, Johannes Daae, Marianne Nilsen Sturmair, Kari Synnøve Johansen, Heidi Bergfald, Ruth Astrid L. Sæter 📝 Mange av deltagerne ble med videre til fagseminaret. Her var temaet 'Innovasjon og muligheter - plasthåndtering i lav- og mellominntektsland'. Først ut var en bolk om humanitær innovasjon; hvor vi bl.a. tok opp viktigheten av bærekraftige forretningsmodeller, involvering av viktige grupper i innovasjonsprosessen og eksempler på vellykkede innovasjonsprosjekter. I andre bolk så vi på ulike plasttyper – og da særlig på hva som kan gjøres med vanskelig-resirkulert materiele. Begge bolkene ble avsluttet med sofasamtale med innledere og stort engasjement fra øvrige deltagere. Avslutningsvis gjennomførte vi tre ulike case-stasjoner. Her ble det #plastquiz, gruppearbeid om masteroppgaver knyttet til internasjonalt plastarbeid og 'prosjektdesign på 10 min'. (Når penger ikke er en hindring – lag verdens beste plastprosjekt.) Tusen takk til: Elise Skattum, Max Vieille, Thomas Sørensen, Kyaw Lin Htut, #EivindAalborg, Gard Sviggum Saabye, Magnus Zachrisson, Elisabeth Lundsoer, Sara Rydbeck, Sabrina Heerema, Øivind F. Eftestøl, Hanna Rian Heggtveit ✅ P.S. til dere som ikke fikk deltatt, opptak fra arrangementene blir i løpet av uka lagt ut som Webinarer, på #iug sine nettsider.

Science communication can come in many forms! And the GRID-Arendal team wanted to highlight one particularly fun and inspiring method on display at the 10th International Waters Conference in Punta del Este, Uruguay last week. Our friends at UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) put on a puppet show to explain the lesser known impacts of nitrogen pollution and propose some solutions. #pollutants #nitrogen
