AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoDeep-Sea Mining: Greenland’s parliament unanimously backed a proposal to halt seabed mining exploration and extraction through 2029, with the government expected to draft legislation next spring. The pause could be extended, as fishing and hunting livelihoods depend on healthy marine ecosystems. Resource Pressure: The move comes amid renewed U.S. talk of major exploration, but Greenland controls mineral permits and the U.S. has no preferential rights. Harsh conditions, limited infrastructure and local rules mean extraction remains far from certain. Arctic Ice: New research using ancient sea-ice algae suggests winter ice loss could be about one million square kilometres greater than climate models previously projected, with potential effects on weather beyond the Arctic.
