Greenland is home to Inuit communities whose cultures, knowledge systems, and livelihoods have evolved alongside ice and sea for millennia. Climate change, extractive industries, and geopolitical interests increasingly threaten not just the environment, but Indigenous self-determination and cultural continuity. Protecting Greenland means listening to and centering Indigenous voices, because climate justice and Indigenous rights cannot be separated.

Greenland is one of the most important places on Earth for understanding climate change. Its ice sheet holds a detailed archive of past climates, helping scientists reconstruct temperatures, atmospheres, and ecosystems stretching back hundreds of thousands of years. Today, Greenland’s rapidly changing ice tells us not just that the climate is warming, but how fast and with what global consequences.
