Europe, Greenland and the Western Alliance in the Global Race for Critical Minerals

Current developments, strategic cooperation and opportunities for governments, investors and industry

The global race for critical minerals is transforming energy, industry and geopolitics. These resources – from rare earth elements to lithium, nickel and cobalt – are essential for the green, digital and industrial transitions and for modern defence capabilities and technologies.

Western countries are now working together to secure sustainable and reliable supply chains. The European Union, Greenland, Denmark, the Nordic region, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and other partners are developing new frameworks for cooperation, finance and investment.

Greenland and the Nordic countries play an increasingly important role in this process. Their combination of geological potential, political stability and environmental standards makes them natural partners in building responsible and transparent value chains for critical minerals.

In our newsletter, we share an overview of these developments. 

We welcome dialogue on responsible and sustainable mineral supply chains.
