Episode Description
Although news highlights have moved on in the last month, the Greenland question hasn't gone away and it'll no doubt rear its head again soon. The short question: why?
Having spent most of modern history on the geopolitical sidelines, this quiet corner of the map is starting to look very different as the climate warms and the ice retreats.
Shipping routes are opening, minerals are attracting interest, and major powers are suddenly paying very close attention.
In this episode, we unpack why Greenland is becoming one of the most strategically important places on Earth.
Join David Carlin and Simon Messenger as they explore how a territory of just 56,000 people has found itself at the centre of a global power struggle!
