Grønlands Grønne Bog (“Greenland's Green Book”) is a Danish-language dictionary of persons that was published five times by the Greenland government between 1988 and 2001 .

As early as 1977 the idea of ​​creating a Greenland -oriented version of Kraks Blå Bog or a Greenlandic court and state calendar came up. However, the first edition did not appear until 1988 under the editorship of the Danish journalist Torben Lodberg (1929-2014) who worked in Greenland . In this first edition there were 288 biographies about living "personer med tilknytning til det grønlandske samfund [...], som he alment kendte." ("People with reference to Greenland society [...] who are generally known."). According to the foreword, the second edition was supposed to appear in 1990, but was actually only published in 1993 and this time contained 395 biographies about “nulevende mennesker i Grønland med tilknytning til det politiske liv, organisationer, foreninger, erhvervsliv [og] [d] esuden […] en række personer who lands på anden måde har tilknytning til. ”(“ People living in Greenland with reference to political life, organizations, associations, professional life [and] [d] beyond […] a number of people who are in a different way and Have a wise connection to the country. ”) Further editions appeared in 1996 and 1998. After Torben Lodberg retired in 2000, the book was published for the last time the following year.
