AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoUN climate forecast: The UN and UK Met Office say there’s a 75% chance global temperatures (2026–2030) will exceed the Paris “safe” 1.5°C threshold at least once, with an overheating Arctic warming about 1.66°C by 2030—raising odds of harsher heat, drought and floods. Greenland-linked hazard research: Scientists report Greenland ice-core ash from Oregon’s Newberry Volcano, narrowing the eruption to around 686 AD and showing even “modest” eruptions can spread hazards far across the North Atlantic. Arctic ecosystems under pressure: Greenpeace staged what it calls the deepest banner protest in history near Loki’s Castle hydrothermal vents (between Greenland and Norway) to oppose deep-sea mining after Norway opened the area. Sea-level rise update: A new study says global sea level has risen faster since 2005–2023 (nearly 4 mm/yr) and that ocean warming explains the biggest share, helping close a long-standing mismatch in past estimates. Greenland tourism labor: Filipinos are increasingly filling staffing gaps in Greenland’s tourism sector, with around 1,200 living in Ilulissat. Arctic policy debate: A Nordic coalition urges the EU to keep its ban on new Arctic oil and gas drilling as Brussels revises its Arctic strategy.
