This MoA was signed by Nathalie Lemarchand (IGU President) and Silvia Peppoloni (IAPG President).

This session aims to explore, through case studies and discussion, how geoethics can shape responsible behaviors and policies in geosciences. We welcome theoretical, methodological, and applied contributions addressing a broad range of topics related to geoethics and social geosciences

A workshop entitled "The Practice of Geoethics and Its Importance in the Geosciences" is currently being held in Lima, Peru.

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.
