		</div><p>Residents of Greenland have switched to daylight saving time and moved their clocks one hour forward at the weekend for the very last time.</p>
<p>Unlike most of Europe, Greenlanders will leave their clocks untouched this autumn when daylight saving time ends.</p>
<p>While Europe and the US debates whether to stick to the twice-yearly practice, Greenland – a vast Danish semi-independent territory in the Arctic – has resolved to perennially remain only three hours behind Copenhagen and most other European countries, instead of four.</p>
<p>Greenland’s parliament, Inatsisartut, voted to stick to daylight saving time year-round on November 24 last year.</p>
<p>Officials say it will give Greenlanders another hour of daylight in the afternoons and more time to do business with Europe and farther afield.</p>
<p>“The shift of time zone marks an exciting new beginning, an equal connection to North America and Europe, and an opportunity to slow down in a fast-paced world,” Visit Greenland, the local government’s tourism office said in a statement.</p>
<p>Geographically, sparsely-populated Greenland belongs to the North American continent but geopolitically, it is in Europe.</p>
<p>Greenland is part the Danish Realm and its southernmost tip is nearly 2,000 miles west of Copenhagen.</p>
<p>Its 56,000 people are mainly Inuit, indigenous people who chiefly live on the west coast in small towns and hamlets or remote coastal settlements.</p>
