Data Distribution Policy
Most of the UNEP/GRID data sets are freely available
for download by users via the Internet. UNEP/GRID does
not place any restrictions on the use of this data,
but does request that users cite UNEP/GRID (and any
other sources mentioned in documentation of the
data provided) as data furnisher(s). For data
sets not available 'on-line', requests made
by non-commercial and non-private persons
(i.e. those with no affiliation) will be filled
at no cost, but will depend on data availability,
UNEP/GRID workload and the nature of the data set
being requested. Requests will be queued with
priority given to those related to joint
activities with UNEP programme areas and other
UN agencies. Data sets with a "restricted access"
rating will not be distributed; however, information
about such data sets, including the distributor's
name, will be sent to eligible organisations upon request.
Users of data sets supplied through UNEP/GRID are
requested to incorporate in output products and reports
acknowledgements to the originator of the data and to
the fact that they were acquired through UNEP/GRID.
Appropriate wording may be "UNESCO (1987) through
UNEP/GRID-Sioux Falls".
