The world is at a crossroads. Rising conflict, inequality and climate injustice are testing our collective imagination, while systems meant to foster cooperation are often gridlocked by polarisation and inertia. Yet cracks in the system also create space for alternatives. Across the world, communities and civic actors are proving that new forms of solidarity and collaboration are possible.

There is much to criticise about Trump Jr.’s trip to Nuuk in January. A great deal, in fact, not least in relation to the stated desire of the U.S. to control Kalaallit Nunaat/Greenland and the unreasonable pressure placed on Naalakkersuisut (the Greenlandic government) in this regard. However, one positive outcome emerged. It was said loudly – so loudly that the Danish government and population could not avoid hearing it – that Inuit/Greenlanders are subjected to prejudice and racism, and that there is no equity in the Danish-Greenlandic relationship.
