🇬🇧 is a key export destination for 🇬🇱, with £80m seafood products sent to the UK every year, which accounts for 15% of Greenland’s total exports. Great to meet the Greenlandic companies driving this trade & explore opportunities to deepen ties through our FTA negotiations.

No Danish pension funds have publicly disclosed strategies, investment policies or practices that consider the impact or dependency of their investments on the oceans. Not good for a maritime nation 🌊😳Lots of work to do! #dkgreen#dkpol#dkbiz
As Pension Funds are increasingly upping their #ESG game, oceans are proving a problematic blind spot. 🌊
With @cbssust we looked at Danish pension funds and laid out where there is room for improvement for aligning #finance and #oceans💰
