Greenland's climate change brings risks and mineral opportunities

Greenland is experiencing rapid climate change, with significant ice melt affecting local life. Fishermen are transitioning from dogsleds to boats as sea ice disappears earlier each year, a change noted since 1997. The Sermeq Kujalleq glacier, one of the world's most active, has retreated over 40 kilometers since 1850. This retreat has accelerated since 2000, leading to larger icebergs drifting into Disko Bay. While climate change presents risks, it also opens opportunities for mineral exploitation. However, increased storms and ground instability pose additional challenges for the region.
