This suggests that the financial/stock markets may recognise a premium in investing in sustainable companies, perhaps as a result of increasing use of sustainability criteria or at least sustainability considerations when selecting suitable investments. However, this premium does not appear to be sustained during periods of economic slowdown.

Many goods are cheap even though they harm the environment, ecosystems or human health.

But while these three ingredients may be the same, the recipe for sustainable waste management can be very different – and Greenland’s unique environment presents some considerable challenges.

Land‑use trends — such as urban sprawl and land abandonment — are jeopardising the future for sustainable land use. Moreover, these trends endanger the achievement of European environmental goals in areas such as biodiversity protection and water management and also hinder the effectiveness of instruments in these areas, including the Natura 2000 network and the Water Framework Directive.
