DEWA/GRID-Europe is one of UNEP's major centres for data and information
management, with a unique, "value-adding" mandate in
the handling of global and regional environmental data, which
in turn support the environment
assessment and early warning activities of UNEP and its partners.
Located in the "Maison Internationale
de l'Environnement" or "International Environment House" (MIE/IEH)
in Geneva, GRID-Europe occupies the niche of francophone
centre for the global GRID network. DEWA/GRID-Europe is supported
by a "Partnership
Agreement" between UNEP,
the Swiss
Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and
the
University of Geneva.
