The deadline for submitting nominations for the Geoethics Medal 2025 is fast approaching: 31 December 2025. The Geoethics Medal honors scientists and scholars who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to ethical practices in geoscience research and/or practice, including its interdisciplinary applications. The award emphasizes the importance of responsible and ethical conduct in the geosciences and encourages others to incorporate geoethical principles into their work.

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.
