Greenland Parliament Unanimously Backs Deep-Sea Mining Ban Through 2029

Greenland's parliament unanimously adopted a proposal requiring the government to draft a ban on deep-sea mining, effective until December 31, 2029, with possible two-year extensions. The government has signaled agreement and will present a bill in the new year. This reverses prior interest in seabed mining and could impact rare-earth and mineral supply chains, though the ban is not yet law.
