Additional information on each event:
- Melting ice caps: The Greenland ice sheet is the second largest in the world, after Antarctica. It contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by 7 meters (23 feet). In recent years, the ice sheet has been melting at an accelerating rate. In 2019, the ice sheet lost a record 532 billion tons of ice. This melting is contributing to sea level rise, which is a major threat to coastal communities around the world.
- US interest in buying Greenland: President Trump’s proposal to buy Greenland from Denmark was met with widespread criticism. Greenlandic officials said that they were not interested in selling the island, and Danish officials said that Greenland was not for sale. The proposal was seen as a publicity stunt by many observers.
- Upcoming parliamentary elections: The Greenlandic parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held on April 6, 2021. The elections will be contested by several parties, including the ruling Siumut party, the left-wing Inuit Ataqatigiit party, and the right-wing Demokraatit party. The elections are likely to be closely contested, with no clear favorite.
