About
The Greening Transportation Infrastructure Development (GRID) integrated program advances the global transition toward transportation infrastructure that safeguards, conserves, and restores key coastal, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems.
Bringing together a digital knowledge platform, global and national projects, and a growing network of partners and practitioners, GRID helps governments, engineers, planners, financiers, and other stakeholders shape transportation infrastructure that supports people and biodiversity.
GRID is a $27 million program funded by the Global Environment Facility and led by WWF, in partnership with the Asian Development Bank and the United Nations Environment Programme.
