Climate change: Arctic mining scheme in doubt as opponents win snap election in Greenland A major mining project in Greenland aimed at exploiting the Arctic island s huge untapped mineral resources has been thrown into doubt following a snap election.
The main opposition Inuit Ataqatigiit (Community of the People) party, which is against the scheme at Kvanefjeld that holds one of the world s largest deposits of rare-earth metals, has become the biggest in parliament following the poll.
It took 37% of the votes, unseating the ruling social democratic Siumut party which secured 29%, official data showed.
Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA) leader Mute Egede, 34, will be first to try to form a new government.
