This will contribute to major environmental, social and economic change in Greenland. JégszakadásThe Exhibition gives the audience an idea of how climate change is experienced by the people of Ilulissat, situated near the famous ice fjord, which is now on Unesco's World Heritage. In a interview study made in 2010 it was clear, that the population of North Greenland are convinced that the climate change and the abuse of natural resources poses the greatest danger for the future.
The aim of the exhibition is to provide a better understanding of the need to find solutions to the challenges posed by climate change.
