Greenland wants to develop the mineral resources area into
one of the country’s primary and principal business sectors.
This is to be done in close collaboration and dialogue
with the Greenlandic population. Understanding the interaction
between mineral projects and Greenlandic society is
therefore essential in order to create sustainable relations
between mineral resources companies, municipalities, affected
individuals, other stakeholders as well as Greenlandic
society in general.
