Polar Futures (2021) - Episode 4, Greenlandic Foreign Minister Pele Broberg

In the spring of 2021, a controversial rare earth metals mining project proposed in Greenland thrust the island’s “kitchen-table economic issues” to the very center of the geopolitical stage. A snap election was called over whether to mine critical metals at the site, called Kvanefjeld—an election that resulted in a clear “no” vote from the Greenlandic people and ended decades of rule by the dominant Siumut Party. It is fair to say that this was a “No” heard round the world, ushering in a new coalition government led by the Inuit Ataqatigiit and Naleraq parties, and a new approach to self-determination and natural resource management for Greenland as it asserts its newly strategic role in the Arctic—a cold region, hotly contested. For this episode of Polar Futures, a special Investable Universe series on investing in Arctic real assets, our guest was the individual leading Greenland’s government efforts in these areas, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trade, Business and Climate, Pele Broberg
