Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere referred to the deep-sea mining exploration permit halt as a "postponement," signaling ongoing efforts to regulate and assess environmental impacts.
Karoline Andaur, CEO of WWF-Norway, stated that the suspension of deep-sea mining permits represents "a major and important environmental victory," highlighting the need for ecological protection.
The ongoing lawsuit against the Norwegian government by WWF emphasizes the lack of sufficient environmental data regarding 99% of the Arctic seabed, impacting assessments for mining activities.
Environmental groups and scientists express concerns that Norway's deep-sea mining initiative could result in irreversible damage to fragile Arctic ecosystems, urging caution and thorough investigation.
