Does anybody know how far Greenland is from achieving independence?

Answer 1

Since 1979, Greenland has been self-governing, independent in everything but name, at least on the domestic side. Given the low population (about 50,000) and that they still maintain many benefits of Danish citizenship, they'll most likely remain in the same political relationship with Denmark. In many ways, they have the best of both worlds, not unlike Puerto Rico with the United States, various overseas territories of the United Kingdom, and what many in Quebec are striving for with Canada.

Answer 2

They don't have the necessary resources nor a significant population to even sustain full-fledged independence. They are an autonomous, self-governing territory in regards to their domestic policy. However, matters of foreign policy and defense are the responsibility of Denmark, as they hold domain over Greenland. Since there is no "independence" movement to speak of, I doubt that they'll ever acheive such a goal in the foreseeable future.

Answer 3

There is practically no aggressive people who are fighting for the independence of Greenland.

Answer 4

Greenland? Won't it be one of the first land masses to be destroyed by Global Warming?
