Last Tuesday, we spoke with Ellen Arnskjold at the Employers Association of Greenland (Sulisitsisut) and Ole Geertz-Hansen with the Institute of Natural Resources (Pinngoretitaleriffik). The Employers Association, has been representing business interest in Greenland since 1966. Presently, around 500 companies and 6,0000 employees are listed among it's members. Recently, the Employer's Association has been in collaboration with the Danish Industry Foundation, Confederation of Danish Industry, and the Technical University of Denmark to strengthen and support both Danish and Greenlandic companies in partnership to bid for mining projects in Greenland.
The Institute of Natural Resources is responsible for providing a scientific basis for the assessment of sustainable use of resources in and around Greenland. The aim of these reports is to secure the environmental and ecological stability of Greenland, the reports also advise the Greenlandic government on policy strategy. The Institute of Natural Resources is divided into three areas of specialization: Fish and Shellfish, Birds and Mammals, and the Climate Research Center. All three divisions work to foresee changes in ecological equilibria and the affect of human activity/development on the environment.
