AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 minutes agoCircular Economy: Royal Greenland is working with Iceland Ocean Cluster and other partners to turn discarded shrimp shells into chitosan, a biopolymer used in products including water-purification materials. Cleaner Shipping: Greenland’s Parliament has directed the government to ban ship scrubber discharges in its waters, starting with open-loop systems in 2027 and extending to all scrubber wastewater in 2029. Greenland’s Ice: Sediment from Camp Century suggests the ice-sheet site was ice-free about 416,000 years ago, when Greenland summers were roughly 4.7°C warmer than today — a sign that sustained warmth can drive extensive ice retreat. Cryosphere Risks: New reports warn that exceeding 1.5°C of warming could cause lasting damage to ice sheets, glaciers, permafrost and sea ice; Arctic advocates are urging shipping to cut greenhouse gases and black-carbon pollution.
