Our mission is to provide environmental
knowledge enabling positive change.
This is achieved by organising and transforming
available environmental data into credible,science-based
information products,
delivered through innovative communication
tools and capacity-building services targeting
relevant stakeholders.

MANDATE FROM GENERAL
ASSEMBLY
Calls upon the UNEP, working within the Global Resource InformationDatabase (GRID) system for data and information management, to
expand on a voluntary basis the capacity of existing GRID centres to
store and handle research data from the outer continental margin, on
a basis to be mutually agreed with the coastal State, and
complementary to existing regional data centers, giving due regard to
confidentiality needs and in accordance with Part XIII of the
Convention, and making use of existing data management
mechanisms under the Intergovernmental Oceanographic
Commission and the International Hydrographic Organisation, with a
view to serving the needs ofcoastal States, and in particulardeveloping countries and small island developing States, in their
compliance with article 76 of the Convention; 2002
