Canada and Greenland have signed a Joint Declaration of Intent (JDI) to strengthen cooperation on critical minerals and energy security, with a focus on Arctic and remote communities.
The agreement was concluded on Monday (2 March) in Toronto between Natural Resources Canada and Greenland’s Ministry of Business, Mineral Resources, Energy, Justice and Gender Equality.
The non-binding JDI aims to enhance collaboration on geological research, low-carbon electricity systems, and resilient infrastructure in Northern regions.
Key areas include:
• Geological collaboration on mineral and energy resources
• Deployment of low-carbon electricity in Arctic microgrid communities
• Assessments of landscape change and permafrost risks
• Development of critical minerals value chains, including ESG standards and investment partnerships
Both sides will pursue regular dialogue, joint fieldwork, data sharing, and expert exchanges.
The declaration does not create legal obligations, and each party will fund its own activities.
