We will miss him!
This is a sad news for the IAPG geoethics family.
Our friend and colleague Jan Boon passed away peacefully in the evening of July 22, 2020.
People of such human qualities like Jan are not common and if we all were like him, we would not need to promote geoethics.

Jan was a pillar of the IAPG:
- co-coordinator of IAPG-Canada
- member of the IAPG Task Group on Responsible Mining
- IAPG representative at CFES
(Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences: http://iapgeoethics.blogspot.com/2018/11/iapg-has-become-observer-organization.html);
- author of the first book published in the SpringerBriefs in Geoethics
Our condolences to his family.
