How teaching negotiation skills can benefit Arctic communities
OPINION: Arctic leaders need the training and experience to represent themselves in the coming discussions that will shape the region's future.
In Narsaq, a town in southern Greenland, some residents are torn on the subject of mining for raw materials, such as uranium. Warmer temperatures and easier access in the region have made Greenland’s communities ripe for development. It’s a double-edged sword: Local communities must choose a path that will protect their physical environments from pollution and protect the traditions they choose to maintain. Whatever their final decision, the town must negotiate these mining projects with large, multinational corporations, such as Australia’s Greenland Minerals and Energy.
