[Greenland’s Parliament passed a proposal to ban deep-sea exploration and mining] October 16th: The Greenland Parliament unanimously passed a proposal on October 15, local time, requiring the self-government to draft a bill to ban deep-sea exploration and mining activities at least by the end of 2029. According to the proposal, the Greenland autonomous government can extend this ban in two-year increments. WWF praised the Greenland parliament's move as "an important step in the right direction" and said that "currently, scientific knowledge about the potential consequences of deep-sea mining on the marine environment is still relatively limited."
