Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site
Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site Niels Henrik Hooge, NOAH Friends of the Earth Denmark’s Uranium Group 9th International NGO Forum on World Heritage | 24 February 2021 The site • One of three WHS in Greenland. • Inscribed on UNESCO’s world heritage list in 2017 under Criterion V in the WH Convention as “an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, land-use, or sea-use which is representative of a culture (or cultures), or human interaction with the environment especially when it has become vulnerable under the impact of irreversible change”. • It comprises a sub-arctic farming landscape consisting of five components representing key elements of the Norse Greenlandic and modern Inuit farming cultures. They are both distinct and both pastoral farming cultures located on the climatic edges of viable agriculture, depending on a combination of farming, pastoralism and marine mammal hunting. • It is the earliest introduction of farming to the Arctic. • Source: UNESCO, Kujataa Greenland: Norse and Inuit Farming at the Edge of the Ice Cap (2017), https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1536/ Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site 2 The site Source: UNESCO World Heritage Centre Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site 3 The site Kujataa Greenland: Norse and Inuit Farming at the Edge of the Ice Cap.

Ilisimatusarfik Informationshæfte
INFORMATIONSHÆFTE Velkommen TIL GRØNLAND & KOMMUNEQARFIK ILISIMATUSARFIK LØN BOLIG SERMERSOOQ (2) - GENERELT (5) & ANSÆTTELSE (6) & REJSE (7) INFORMATIONSHÆFTE Med dette lille informationshæfte håber vi, at vi kan være med til at give ansøgere til stillinger på Ilisimatusarfik en god basis for at vælge os som kommende arbejdsplads !1 INFORMATIONSHÆFTE Velkommen til Grønland Grønland er med sine mere end 2 mio. km2 verdens Grønland og største ø. Der bor ca. 57.000 mennesker på hele øen - befolkningen fordelt på 18 byer og ca. 60 bygder. Grønland er et bjergland. Det isfri land består af fjelde. Dybe fjorde og lange dale gennemskærer bjerglandet, og de fleste steder er landskabet plettet af søer. Utallige elve afvander landet og Indlandsisen. Gennem dalene løber elvene ud til fjordene eller havet. Kysten er mange steder en skærgårdskyst med tusindvis af små og store øer. Befolkningen Grønlænderne, Kalaallit, (udtales ga’laathlit) Kortet viser inddelingen i nedstammer fra inuit, som indvandrede fra Canada for de nye kommuner efter ca. 8-900 år siden. Mange har også europæiske kommunesammen- forfædre, fordi Grønland har haft kontakt med Europa i lægningerne i 2009. flere hundrede år. Sproget kaldes kalaallisut, (udtales ga’laathlisut) - Grønland er en del af grønlandsk. Det er et eskimoisk sprog, som er meget Kongeriget Danmark anderledes end europæiske sprog. Derimod ligner det med eget selvstyre meget de eskimoiske sprog, der tales af inuit i Canada, indført i 2009. Alaska og Sibirien. Politisk hører Grønland I Grønland findes der 3 meget forskellige dialekter, men derfor til Europa; alle lærer vestgrønlandsk i skolen. Dansk er også meget geografisk hører udbredt. Grønlandsk er det officielle sprog, men på Grønland derimod til det grund af rigsfællesskabet med Danmark undervises der nordamerikanske også i dansk. -
The Veterinary and Food Authority of Greenland
Aalisarnermut, Piniarnermut Nunalerinermullu Naalakkersuisoqarfik Departementet for Fiskeri, Fangst og Landbrug Uumasunik Nakorsaqarfik Inuussutissalerinermullu Oqartussaaffik (UNIO) Veterinær- og Fødevaremyndigheden i Grønland (VFMG) The Veterinary and Food Authority of Greenland (VFMG) under the Ministry of Fisheries, Hunting and Agriculture has issued the following guidelines for bringing dogs and/or cats into Greenland. The guidelines also cover travelling with these animals within Greenland. In order to protect the Greenlandic Sled Dog as a breed Act no. 18 of 30 October 1998 establishes a so called sled dog district. The territory is defined as follows: th ● North of Greenland on the West Coast from north of 66 northern degree of latitude, th ● The entire East Coast down to Kap Farvel, east of the 44 western degree of longitude. Within this district, only Greenlandic Sled Dogs may be kept and it is strictly prohibited to bring other dogs into these areas. This concerns both dogs travelling onboard cruise ships with tourists and local dogs travelling within Greenland. In accordance to Article 19, subsection 2 of Act no. 18 of 30th October 1998 by Greenland´s Home Rule regarding sled dogs, it is prohibited to introduce dogs of any race into the sled dog districts. The same Article states that it is prohibited to reintroduce Greenlandic Sled Dogs once they have left the sled dog district. Working dogs and service dogs for disabled people may be permitted admittance to the sled dog district, but only after receiving a permit from the Government of Greenland. Working dogs are solely defined as the dogs used by police or by the authorities in relation to border control. -

Faroe Islands and Greenland 2008
N O R D I C M E D I A T R E N D S 10 Media and Communication Statistics Faroe Islands and Greenland 2008 Compiled by Ragnar Karlsson NORDICOM UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG 2008 NORDICOM’s activities are based on broad and extensive network of contacts and collaboration with members of the research community, media companies, politicians, regulators, teachers, librarians, and so forth, around the world. The activities at Nordicom are characterized by three main working areas. Media and Communication Research Findings in the Nordic Countries Nordicom publishes a Nordic journal, Nordicom Information, and an English language journal, Nordicom Review (refereed), as well as anthologies and other reports in both Nordic and English langu- ages. Different research databases concerning, among other things, scientific literature and ongoing research are updated continuously and are available on the Internet. Nordicom has the character of a hub of Nordic cooperation in media research. Making Nordic research in the field of mass communication and media studies known to colleagues and others outside the region, and weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and colleagues abroad are two prime facets of the Nordicom work. The documentation services are based on work performed in national documentation centres at- tached to the universities in Aarhus, Denmark; Tampere, Finland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Bergen, Norway; and Göteborg, Sweden. Trends and Developments in the Media Sectors in the Nordic Countries Nordicom compiles and collates media statistics for the whole of the Nordic region. The statistics, to- gether with qualified analyses, are published in the series, Nordic Media Trends, and on the homepage. -
