    Kujalleq Nutaaq ERHVERVSUDVIKLINGS FORSLAG for Kommune Kujalleq Version 1.0 - 2020 Innovation South Greenland A/S, Torvevej 34, Postboks 313, 3920 Qaqortoq, Greenland Oqarasuaat +299 537777, e-mail: [email protected] Forord Innovation South Greenland arbejder målrettet for at få udviklingen i gang i hele Sydgrønland. Dette dokument afspejler anbefalingerne til Kommunalbestyrelsen. 1. Ser man på infrastrukturen er det gennem en årrække blevet svært at rejse rundt i Kommunen. 2. Det er en udfordring at få vareforsyninger, dyrt og svært at sende varer fra sydgrønland og svært at holde møder osv. Af disse og flere andre årsager er udviklingen gået nærmest i stå. 3. Resultatet har været at der er sket en gradvis en fraflytning. Desuden har personer med højere kompetencer fået gode jobs andre steder. Det er ganske enkelt blevet svært at skabe et livsgrundlag på et personligt plan, for familier og for erhvervslivet. Derfor har man etableret Innovation South Greenland A/S for at skabe vækst, udvikling og rådgivning af iværksættere. En konkret opgave som er blevet givet Innovation South Greenland A/S er at finde en løsning for Narsarsuaq i et nyt scenarie. Det vigtige er imidlertid at se på hele Sydgrønland som en sammenhængende region. Den første forudsætning er at skabe håb og troværdighed. Dernæst at man får en tidssvarende infrastruktur på plads. Ydermere skal der opdyrkes en iværksætterkultur som understøttes af igangsætning af konkrete projekter. Sidst og ikke mindst skal der tiltrækkes investeringer udefra og indgås bilaterale aftaler som kan styrke regionen. Erhvervsudviklingen skal baseres på et tæt samarbejde med Erhvervslivet, Kommunen, Selvstyret og Uddannelsesinstitutionerne i kommunen.

    Ilulissat Icefjord

    World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1149.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Ilulissat Icefjord DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 7th July 2004 STATE PARTY: DENMARK CRITERIA: N (i) (iii) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 28th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (i): The Ilulissat Icefjord is an outstanding example of a stage in the Earth’s history: the last ice age of the Quaternary Period. The ice-stream is one of the fastest (19m per day) and most active in the world. Its annual calving of over 35 cu. km of ice accounts for 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice, more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier has been the object of scientific attention for 250 years and, along with its relative ease of accessibility, has significantly added to the understanding of ice-cap glaciology, climate change and related geomorphic processes. Criterion (iii): The combination of a huge ice sheet and a fast moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord covered by icebergs is a phenomenon only seen in Greenland and Antarctica. Ilulissat offers both scientists and visitors easy access for close view of the calving glacier front as it cascades down from the ice sheet and into the ice-choked fjord. The wild and highly scenic combination of rock, ice and sea, along with the dramatic sounds produced by the moving ice, combine to present a memorable natural spectacle. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250-km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord (40,240-ha) is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea.

    EastEast GreenlandGreenland 2006 Kulusuk, and Ammassalik (Tasiilaq) 1 to 4 Days in Greenland A short visit to Greenland’s East Coast will give you a very definite sense of this land and culture. There are small modern frame houses with electricity. But the sounds of barking dogs behind the houses, and sleds in the front yards, soon makes it clear that this is a traditional hunting society and economy. On approaching this land by air East Greenland’s uniqueness is striking. Icebergs are being swept along the rugged coast and into the fjords by the ocean currents and they seem to be everywhere. East Greenland has long been isolated from the other parts of the country, resulting in a distinctive dialect and unique culture and crafts. Its’ been only 100 years since the first Europeans “discovered” East Greenland! There are several different ways to sample East Greenland, either through complete package with international airfare from the US, or as Add- on for those already in Iceland.

  • Notes on the Colonial History of Greenland

    Notes on the Colonial History of Greenland

    Notes on the Colonial History of Greenland Møller, Helle. 2011.“You need to be double cultured to function here”: Toward an anthropology of Inuit nursing in Greenland and Nunavut. Ph.D. Thesis. University of Alberta. pp. 44-58. Footnote: Kalaallit Nuunat, the Greenlandic name for Greenland means “the people’s land” and Kalaallit “the people.” However, Kalaallit oftenrefer to themselves as Greenlanders and their language as Greenlandic, and these are the terms I will use in this dissertation. The name Greenland, or in Danish ‘Grønland,’ was given to the enormous island by the Norse Erik the Red when he first saw the deep and fertile fjords of southern Greenland (Mikkelsen & Kuipjers, 2000). Prior to Greenland’s vote on self-government there was an article in the newspaper Sermitsiaq and subsequently heated online debate among readers about the terms Inuit and Kalaallit, on account of a question from Doris Jacobsen, who is a member of the Home Rule government in the Greenlandic parliament, about whether Greenlanders should call themselves Kalaallit or Inuit with the advent of self-government (Aaqqissuisoqarfik, 2008). The majority of debaters seemed to agree that the proper name for Greenlanders, in Greenlandic today, is Kalaallit. This despite the fact that Greenlanders are ethnohistorically of Inuit descent, and that the origin of Kalaallit (singular: kalaaleq) may be skræling, which some sources point to as meaning skin in the Icelandic language, with reference to the skin clothing that the Inuit wore when the Norse first encountered them (Gulløv, 2000). According to other sources, skræling originates in the Scandinavian languages and means scrawny, which is how the Norse described the first Inuit they met (Gulløv, 2000).
  • Renewable Energy Across the Arctic: Greenland Report

    Renewable Energy Across the Arctic: Greenland Report

    Renewable energy across the Arctic: Greenland Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Greenland has been partly self-supplying with energy since 1993 by help of hydropower plants. The national energy production is increasing, but Greenland still depends on imported oil, primarily gas oil, diesel and petrol. Greenland has firm green ambitions – and potentials – in the energy sector. The Government of Greenland is committed to developing new hydropower plants in five communities and to invest in renewable energy for small, isolated settlements (Government of Greenland, coalition agreement 2016-2018). By pairing large-scale industry with renewable energy, Greenland can take a lead position in sustainable business. A central driver for the Government of Greenland’s commitment to renewable energy is an urge for a self-sustained economy and financial independence from subsidies from Denmark. When replacing imported fossil fuels with national energy production, the Government of Greenland supports the national economy while reducing CO2-emissions. Many communities in Greenland are small, and the grid comprises today 69 decentralized, stand-alone energy systems with no option for the distribution of renewable energy. However, two cities – Qaqortoq and Narsaq - are connected to the same hydro power plant in Qorlortorsuaq. Size matters in Greenland, as the country has an area greater than Mexico and with some communities very remote. The potential for hydropower is far from exhausted. New plants are already further analyzed, developed and in pipeline for five communities: Aasiaat, Qasigiannguit, Maniitsoq, Paamiut and Nanortalik. With more hydropower on the local grids, electric and hybrid cars can replace the use of gasoline and diesel. First- movers have already been out for some years, and more power stations are key to leverage.
