The Greenland Parliament passed a bill by full vote on the 15th requiring the autonomous government to draft a bill prohibiting deep sea exploration and mining activities until at least the end of 2029. According to the proposal, the Greenland Home Rule Government can extend this ban in 2-year increments. WWF praised the Greenland Parliament's move as “an important step in the right direction” and stated that “currently, human scientific knowledge about the potential consequences of deep-sea mining on the marine environment is still quite limited.” The day before, US President Trump posted on social media that large-scale exploration of oil, gas and mineral resources will soon be carried out in Greenland.
