Ukraine has rich resources, in particular coal and iron ore, which provide domestic needs and exports. Greenland, on the other hand, shows potential due to its mineral and oil reserves, but faces environmental challenges and needs for infrastructure upgrades. Both countries face challenges such as the environmental impacts of extraction, which require adaptation of technologies and resource management strategies. The article also analyzes the research of Ukrainian and international scientists who investigate the effectiveness of resource management in the face of global challenges. Comparing the approaches of Ukraine and Greenland may reveal best practices for improving economic sustainability. The study focuses on the need to adapt to new conditions, particularly in the context of wartime conditions in Ukraine, and aims to find out how countries cope with the consequences of the extractive industry. The paper highlights the importance of balancing economic benefits and environmental risks, highlighting the need for new management strategies to ensure long-term sustainability. Læs mere

Nevertheless, this article demonstrates that international legal approaches remain important tools to address challenges and disputes in polar law. The article argues that international law remains of critical importance for the peaceful governance of the Poles. It illustrates this argument with a review of, amongst other institutions, the functioning of the Arctic Council, the Antarctic Treaty System, selected issues in the law of the sea and the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
