[REPORT] Greenland on the Chessboard: European Strategic Autonomy Challenge
Greenland is no longer a peripheral Arctic territory but a strategic pressure point where U.S. power projection, European strategic ambition, and local sovereignty intersect.

The island has emerged as a focal point of great-power competition, shaped by climate change, resource potential, and shifting security dynamics.
In this context, Greenland functions as a geopolitical stress test for European strategic autonomy.
