On April 7, 2026, the Greenland government announced the suspension of the ETM Kvanefjeld rare earth project, one of the largest deposits of its kind.

The decision comes amid rising environmental concerns, which have been a focal point of opposition from various environmental groups.

This halt may have implications for supply chains dependent on rare earth materials, as Kvanefjeld was anticipated to contribute significantly to global production capacity.
