"Valuing Geosciences for the Public Good"
On this International Geoethics Day 2024, we celebrate the vital role of geosciences in promoting the public good. By deepening our understanding of the Earth, geosciences help us address critical challenges like climate change, natural disasters, resource management, and environmental conservation. But beyond knowledge, geoethics reminds us of our responsibility to use this science ethically, ensuring that its benefits reach all communities, safeguard the environment, and promote sustainability. Let us value geosciences not only for what they teach us about our planet but also for how they empower us to create a fairer, more resilient future for all.
