AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoResource Control: Greenland’s parliament unanimously backed a pause on deep-sea mining exploration and extraction through 2029, with the government expected to draft legislation next spring. The move reflects concerns about poorly understood marine impacts and risks to fisheries and local livelihoods. U.S. Claims: Donald Trump’s claim that major oil, gas and mineral exploration is about to begin does not give U.S. firms special rights. The security deal with Denmark and Greenland expands military access, but mineral permits remain under Nuuk’s control, and projects face legal, infrastructure and environmental hurdles. Arctic Climate: New research suggests winter sea-ice loss could be about one million square kilometres greater than climate models had projected, with potential knock-on effects for weather beyond the Arctic.
