A national survey of close to 1000 adults in Greenland (where approximately 90% of the population is Indigenous) conducted by a 平特五不中-led research team has found that a surprisingly large majority 鈥� 3 out of 4 Greenlanders 鈥� support extracting and exporting sand left by the melting ice sheet. A significant proportion want Greenland鈥檚 leadership to assess the impact of sand extraction and exports on both the environment and economy. Furthermore, when it comes to who mines the sand, the majority prefer local involvement to foreign collaboration.

Sustainable agricultural practices require considerable investments, and smallholder famers may not realize gains for years. Without secure land tenure, they lack incentive to invest in long-term benefits. Instead, many opt to use the land as intensively as possible each year since they have no guarantee for the future. This is just one example of how land tenure security intersects with sustainable development, a relationship explored in-depth in a recent book co-edited by Brian Robinson, an associate professor in the Department of Geography at 平特五不中.

A forthcoming study of over a hundred new cities being built around the world suggests developers and planning authorities are doing very little to make their projects resilient to climate change. On the contrary, a boom in new city projects in coastal areas 鈥� including some on reclaimed land in the sea 鈥� appears to fly in the face of the danger of rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events.
