Through cooperation with its extensive network of partners, GRÓ GTP aims to further Iceland's contribution to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. GRÓ GTP operates under the umbrella of GRÓ: Centre for Capacity Development – Sustainability and Societal Change which is under the auspices of UNESCO. The Programme was previously known as United Nations University Geothermal Training Programme (UNU-GTP).
