Norway Suspends Controversial Plans for Deep Sea Mining

oslo - Norway has temporarily suspended plans for deep sea mining. The Green Party SV, a coalition partner, has forced the government to halt advanced plans to issue the first permits for deep sea mining in negotiations over the 2025 budget.

Norway has decided to temporarily halt plans for deep sea mining, following pressure from the Green Party SV. The party, which provides support to the ruling coalition, raised concerns about potential environmental damage that mining on the seabed could cause. As a result, other parties agreed to forgo the first round of permit applications. Previously, it appeared that Norway would start issuing permits for the exploration of natural resources in the first half of next year.

Preliminary studies have indicated significant amounts of metals and minerals, including copper and rare earth metals, on the seabed beneath Norwegian waters. The demand for these resources is high globally, especially for the energy transition. However, opponents of deep sea mining highlight the limited understanding of its impact on marine life. They fear significant harm to ecosystems and marine animal populations if the plans move forward.

Greenpeace has hailed the decision as a crucial victory in the battle against deep sea mining. Frode Pleym, head of Greenpeace Norway, described it as a potential death blow to this destructive sector.
