AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoCooler-Destination Tourism: Northern Europe, including Iceland, saw visitor numbers rise 10% in April–June compared with a year earlier as travellers sought relief from heat. The tourism boom brings new opportunities, but also pressure on destinations. Whaling: A bid to reopen discussion of commercial whaling was withdrawn at the International Whaling Commission. Delegates approved other conservation measures, but a proposed South Atlantic whale sanctuary failed again. Geothermal and Carbon Capture: Iceland is courting India to share geothermal expertise and Carbfix technology, which turns captured CO₂ into stone. Separately, Dutch firm Skytree secured a €1 million development loan for a geothermal-powered direct-air-capture project in Iceland, planned for 2028. North Atlantic Fisheries: Seafood businesses warn that mackerel remains at risk despite higher catch advice, urging Iceland and other fishing nations to agree on quotas. An industry advocacy group is moving away from improvement projects, saying the obstacle is international governance.
