Geoethics: Ethical, Social and Cultural Aspects in Geosciences
Description of the Symposium 1.7 by IAPG:
All branches of geosciences have ethical, social and cultural implications. Geoethics aims to provide a common framework for these concerns, and to discuss on the appropriate behaviors and practices, wherever human activities interact with the Earth system.
The spectrum of topics this symposium aims to deal with includes:
i) ethical and social problems related to management of land, coasts and open oceans,
ii) socio-environmentally sustainable supplies of energy and geo-resources,
iii) pollution and its impact,
iv) resilience of society related to natural-anthropogenic hazards, and risk mitigation strategies,
v) geoscience communication and education,
vi) culture and value of geodiversity, geoheritage, geoparks,
vii) role of geosciences in socio-economic development regardless of countries' wealth while respecting cultures, traditions and local development paths, and in promoting peace, sustainable development and intercultural exchange.
Acknowledging the role of Geoscientists at the service of society, this symposium, proposed by IAPG - International Association for Promoting Geoethics (http://www.geoethics.org), aims to develop ethical and social discussion on following topics, including case-studies:
a) Geoethics in natural-anthropogenic risk management,
b) Ethical aspects of geoscience education and communication,
c) Geoethics for responsible use of geo-resources,
d) Research integrity and professional deontology in geosciences,
e) Geoethics in addressing global societal challenges.
