Norway's Policy Reversal: Norway has halted its deep-sea mining plans until at least 2029 due to political pressure and public demand for environmental protection, marking a significant shift from its previous stance of opening vast offshore areas for mineral exploration.
Environmental Concerns: The decision was influenced by warnings from environmental agencies and scientists about the vulnerability of deep-sea ecosystems, leading to a historic victory for conservation advocates like WWF Norway.
Continued Mining Ambitions Elsewhere: Despite Norway's pause, deep-sea mining efforts are advancing in the U.S., where The Metals Company is pursuing permits in the mineral-rich Clarion-Clipperton Zone, significantly boosting its stock performance.
Regulatory Framework Issues: The global regulatory landscape for deep-sea mining remains incomplete, with the International Seabed Authority yet to finalize a comprehensive Mining Code, although it emphasizes the need for strict environmental oversight.
