n celebration of International Geoethics Day 2025, the Brazilian Society of Geology (SBG - Sociedade Brasileira de Geologia) announced the public release of a lecture given by Silvia Peppoloni during the 51st Brazilian Congress of Geology, held in Belo Horizonte in October 2024. As a guest speaker, Silvia recorded her lecture and authorized its wide dissemination to the geoscientific community.

Silvia Peppoloni will deliver an invited talk (in Italian) titled "La geoetica come fondamento per affrontare le responsabilità etiche dei geologi in un mondo in trasformazione" (Geoethics as a foundation for addressing the ethical responsibilities of geologists in a transforming world) in Genoa, Italy, on 25 November 2025.

This book explores diverse perspectives and practices in geoethics, offering a comprehensive overview of how ethical considerations are being integrated into the geosciences across disciplines and regions. It draws from the session “Geoethics at the Heart of All Geoscience: Serving the Public Good” held at the 37th International Geological Congress (IGC) in Busan, Republic of Korea.

The International Association for Promoting Geoethics (IAPG), the Commission on Geoethics of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS-CG), and the Chair on Geoethics of the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH-CG) are co-sponsoring several events on geoethics at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2026 (EGU26)
