We celebrate the 8th edition of the International Geoethics Day on 17 October 2024.
The theme of this year is "valuing geosciences for the public good".
The International Geoethics Day 2024 emphasizes the importance of applying geoscientific knowledge to address societal challenges and promote the well-being of communities. By understanding Earth's processes, geoscientists contribute to disaster risk reduction, resource management, environmental conservation, and sustainable development. Their work helps ensure safe water supplies, mitigate climate change impacts, and support responsible land use. Valuing geosciences means recognizing their role in fostering resilience, protecting ecosystems, and improving quality of life, ultimately ensuring that scientific advancements benefit society as a whole.
If you want to organize an event (conference, webinar, seminar, field trip, etc.) to celebrate the International Geoethics Day 2024, please inform the IAPG Secretariat by sending an email to: iapgeoethics@aol.com. IAPG will be happy to promote your event.
