The threats to Greenland require a coordinated Euro-Atlantic strategy. The Council of Europe has a role to play in defending the sovereignty of states, the rule of law and democracy in the face of Arctic geopolitical challenges. The Parliamentary Assembly must examine the options for an effective strategy, supported by the relevant multilateral organisations.
