Last update: 6 hours agoLandslide Risk: Researchers estimate that 400 million cubic metres of unstable rock above Greenland’s fjords could collapse, generating tsunami waves that may reach communities more than 100 kilometres away. Changing Oceans: Simulations link Greenland ice melt and fresh water entering the North Atlantic to a weakening ocean circulation system, with major regional temperature shifts possible by 2067. Community Preparedness: An EU commissioner’s visit focused on helping remote Greenlandic communities prepare for climate-linked hazards, including landslides, avalanches, flooding and wildfires. Mining Policy: Greenland plans to pause new deep-sea mining licences until 2029, a significant step as pressure grows to develop Arctic resources. Arctic Pollution: Ice-core research traced arsenic and other toxic metals from early 20th-century copper production in Montana across the Arctic, revealing pollution preserved in Greenland’s ice. Wildlife: Greenland white-fronted geese have fallen to fewer than 15,000, with climate change affecting their breeding grounds among the suspected causes.
