Geoethics at the IGC 2024

International Geological Congress 2024

Thanks to Silvia Peppoloni (IAPG Secretary General and Chair of the IUGS - Commission on Geoethics) and the availability of 37th IGC organizers, geoethics is now included among the themes of the congress for the first time in the history of IGC:

Theme T39 "Geoethics and Societal Relevance of Geosciences":

Convener: Silvia Peppoloni (silvia.peppoloni@ingv.it)

Geoethics and Societal Relevance of Geosciences focus on the ethical considerations and societal implications of geoscientific research and practices. It explores the responsibility of geoscientists to contribute to sustainable development, environmental protection, and social well-being. Geoethics promotes integrity, transparency, and accountability in geoscience research and decision-making processes. It encourages geoscientists to engage with local communities, stakeholders, and policymakers to ensure that geoscientific knowledge is accessible, relevant, and beneficial to society. This field emphasizes the ethical dimensions of geoscience education, professional conduct, and the ethical implications of resource extraction, land use planning, and natural hazard mitigation. By integrating geoethics, geoscientists can foster a more inclusive, responsible, and ethical approach to addressing global challenges.

Under this theme, the IAPG organizes the following session:

Session 1 "Geoethics at the hearth of all geoscience: serving the public good"

Convener: Silvia Peppoloni

Session description: Geoscience knowledge and practice are essential for the functioning of modern societies, in particular for dealing with the global anthropogenic changes of our times. However, how can geosciences serve society? Which societal role can geoscientists play? How should the geoscience-policy interface be managed? How much is ethics important in guiding geoscience decisions and solutions? These are only some of the fundamental questions that modern geoscientists, who are aware of the ethical and societal implications of their profession, should ponder. Geoethics aims to provide an ethical reference framework to answer those and other questions, and to nourish a discussion on the fundamental principles and values, which underpin appropriate behaviours, and practices wherever human activities interact with the Earth system. The complexity of the planetary interactions and world issues requires interdisciplinary approaches and cooperation, capable of synthesizing a range of knowledge, methods, tools and strategies. As any scientist, geoscientists have a responsibility to develop excellent science and international cooperation, transfer scientific outcomes to different stakeholders, as well as improve methods and technologies, which assure people’s safety and a responsible land management, public welfare and sustainable life conditions for present and future generations, while respecting biodiversity and geodiversity. Geoscientists, who are aware of their ethical and societal obligations, will be able to put their knowledge at the service of public good and increase society trust in geosciences. The spectrum of topics geoethics deals with includes: philosophical and historical aspects of geoscience, their contemporary relevance and their role in informing methods for effective and ethical decision-making; geoscience professionalism and deontology, research integrity, including issues related to harassment, discrimination, equity and inclusion in geosciences; ethical and social problems related to the management of land, subsoil, air and water, including environmental changes, pollution and their impacts; socio-environmentally sustainable supply of georesources (including energy, minerals and water), recognising the importance of effective regulation and policy-making, social acceptance, and understanding and promoting best practices; resilience of society related to natural and anthropogenic hazards, risk management and mitigation strategies; ethical aspects of geoscience education and communication, and their societal relevance, as well as culture and value of geodiversity, geoconservation, geoheritage, geoparks and geotourism; role of geosciences in achieving socio-economic development that respects cultures, traditions and local development paths, regardless of countries' wealth, and in promoting peace, responsible and sustainable development and intercultural exchange. Conveners invite colleagues to present experiences, considerations, methods, questions, best practices, and also case studies to enrich and explore the ethical, social, and cultural aspects of geoscience knowledge and practice, to address local and global challenges, such as climate change solutions, natural resources management, risk reduction, conservation of geoheritage, geoscience communication and education strategies. The session aims to provide food for thought and create connections between scholars from different disciplinary fields, in order to build a genuine geoscience community, open to cross-fertilization with other scientific and humanities communities. The session is co-sponsored by International Association for Promoting Geoethics (https://www.geoethics.org) and International Union of Geological Sciences (https://www.iugs.org).

Geoethics at the XVI CGCh

THE CALL FOR ABSTRACT IS OPEN (deadline: 31 May 2023)

 

XVI Chilean Geological Congress "New challenges for an evolving territory”

Thematic Area 6 (AT6): Geosciences and Society

Session AT6-6 Geoethics: Experiences and case studies in Chile

Conveners: Luisa Pinto Lincoñir, Hernán Bobadilla Rodríguez

Description:

The role of geoethics is to investigate and reflect upon the values ​​and principles that support appropriate human interactions with the earth system. Geoethics is multidisciplinary and its field of analysis and action is defined by the need to identify common values ​​based on geoscientific knowledge, which is essential to recognize our role in the sustainability of the human-Earth system. There are 4 domains of interaction: individual, interpersonal, social and environmental. These domains involve different degrees of responsibility and a series of values ​​for the achievement of ethical actions to achieve the ideals of justice, consciousness, and respect for the Earth (https:/ /www.geoethics.org). 

This session welcomes contributions that highlight geoethical issues in terms of values ​​and principles in: (1) Dilemmas within the individual and/or interpersonal spheres of scientific and professional work; (2) Successful or unsuccessful cases, projects, studies, and activities with social or environmental impact in Chile (e.g., education, outreach, geoheritage, and geological risk management). Contributions accepted for this session will have the possibility of being included in the edition of a book on geoethics cases in Chile. This session is sponsored by the International Association for Promoting Geoethics (IAPG).

Silvia Peppoloni (IAPG Secretary General and Chair of the IUGS Commission on Geoethics) and Giuseppe Di Capua (IAPG Treasurer and Treasurer of the IUGS Commission on Geoethics) gives plenary lectures in the theme AT6 Geosciences and Society and holds a workshop entitled "What is geoethics?"

Theme 1 - Session 1.4

Landslides and society: cultural, educational, ethical, and social aspects in sustainable landslide risk reduction

Conveners: Matjaž Mikoš, Irasema Alcántara-Ayala, Beena Ajmera, Peter T. Bobrowsky, , Giuseppe Di Capua, Claudio Margottini, Silvia Peppoloni

Session description:

KLC2020 defines in its Action 5 «Promote open communication with local governments and society through integrated research, capacity building, knowledge transfer, awareness-raising, training, and educational activities, to enable societies and local communities to develop effective policies and strategies for reducing landslide disaster risk, to strengthen their capacities for preventing hazards from developing into major disasters, and to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of relief programs.” UNESCO is strongly supporting Open Educational Resources (OER) by adopting the Recommendation on OER in 2019 as the first international normative instrument to embrace the field of openly licensed educational materials and technologies in education. UNESCO adopted in November 2021 also the Recommendation on Open Science. Citizen scientists should be recognized as key actors of Open Science.
This Session aims at knowledge exchange among diverse stakeholders (from academic institutions, research institutions, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, engineers, policy makers, local communities), including ICL community how Open Science and Open Educational Resources can and should be developed in the field of capacity development and education for landslide risk reduction. Reports and expertise papers, case studies and best practices are welcome to shed light on how these new educational and research ways have already been or may be successfully applied worldwide to meet the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 for Disaster Risk Reduction and the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development Goals in the field of Landslide Disaster Risk Reduction.

This session is sponsored by the International Association for Promoting Geoethics – IAPG.

Geoethics at the SIMP, SGI, SOGEI, AIV Joint Congress

Joint congress of the Italian Society of Mineralogy and Petrology (SIMP), the Italian Geological Society (SGI), the Italian Society of Geochemistry (SOGEI) and the Italian Association of Volcanology (AIV), entitled "The Geoscience paradigm: Resources, Risks and future perspectives".

Session S26 "Exploring geoscience communication"

Conveners: Ortensia Amoroso, Rosa Coluzzi, Valeria Giampaolo, Vito Imbrenda, Silvia Peppoloni

Session description: Against a backdrop of growing geo-environmental concerns, a crucial question for geoscientists is how best to communicate these issues to the wider public and, as a result, more effectively communicate their technical expertise to non-technical audiences. Furthermore, European and national funding programs encourage scientists to engage the public ever more imaginatively in their work, address their collective concerns, and even have them participate in the scientific process themselves. Nowadays, geoscientists are expected to communicate with a variety of audiences in ways that are appropriate for each group, including science users and decision makers, the larger scientific community, public organizations, and individual people.
The main goal of this session is to involve geoscientists to present, discuss and share best practices in effective geoscience communication. Traditional (storytelling, language, and visualisation), emergent digital communication strategies (citizens science, social network, apps, etc.), and unconventional ones (poetry, music, art, etc.) will be considered for education, policy, public awareness, and engagement. Great attention will be devoted to the activities carried out by younger geoscientists. Contributions will be evaluated for a special issue of the Journal of Geoethics and Social Geosciences.

Geoethics in a Symposium at the Stockholm University

This symposium is a joint event by Stockholm University, International Union of Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH), Union Union Académique Internationale, Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange.

Giuseppe Di Capua (IAPG and IUGS Commission on Geoethics Treasurer) delivers an invited talk entitled "Etiology of the Ecological Crisis: Building New Perspectives for Human Progress Through Geoethics" in the Session "Ecology and (global) ethics".

Abstract: The socio-ecological crisis is a global polycrisis, which needs to be answered on a scientific-technical level (identifying most probable scenarios and sustainable solutions), cultural level (building a society of solidarity, respect, and responsibility) and aesthetic level (redefining the human sensorial perception of the environmental reality). Humanity has become the main engine of climate and ecological change on a global scale, in turn fueled by a general homogenization of the economic models adopted and of people's social needs and expectations. Anthropogenic global environmental changes have produced further transformations in human communities, prompting them in turn to conform to the same concerns and hopes. Now, we are witnessing an epochal transition, in which increased environmental awareness, especially on the part of the younger generations, can lead humanity to a more fruitful coexistence between a local/regional community dimension and a (global) cosmopolitan one, which is not based on ideological-political beliefs of individual parts, but on the sharing of a commondestiny of species by all, as an effect of an increased perception of the physical, chemical, biological limits that underlie human life on the planet and of the precariousness of the social-ecological interrelationships that characterize the Earth. A human community is not a simple aggregation of individuals, but a system of relationships that binds people to the physical, biological, technological environment, virtual and material, through organizational, cultural, social, economic and moral constraints. It is through the sharing of ideals, values, languages, meanings, rules of conduct, traditions that the collective identity is structured and the material and spiritual existence of each individual can be enriched with sense. Geoethics can represent the way for a cultural renewal of society, orienting human choices and decisions starting from a common framework of shared principles and values, capable of responding to global environmental and social changes in a functional and responsible way, by promoting a solidarity, intercultural and interethnic vision, and respect for the environment. Geoethics is substantially an ethics of the global socio-environmental responsibility of a planetary citizenry, grafted onto geoscience (the science that studies the Earth system and its subsystems) which not only has a self-realizing purpose, but is above all the means by which:
a) responsibly assisting society in the great contemporary and future challenges of the Anthropocene by promoting policies of mitigation and adaptation to global environmental changes;

b) contributing to the development of a culture of knowledge of the common home and to the modification of the aesthetic dimension through which human beings perceive the Earth, thanks to its educational and training potential.
Geoethical thought is the tool for guiding our technological societies towards authentic humanistic-ecological progress, which modifies the aesthetic dimension that human beings have of themselves and of Earth.

Giuseppe Di Capua (IAPG and IUGS Commission on Geoethics Treasurer) delivers an invited talk entitled "Etiology of the Ecological Crisis: Building New Perspectives for Human Progress Through Geoethics" in the Session 2 "How can a global geoethics and a new technoethics grounded in various ethical traditions help us resist threats to a sustainable future?"

Abstract: The socio-ecological crisis is a global polycrisis, to be addressed on a scientific-technical level (identifying most probable scenarios and sustainable solutions), cultural level (building a society of solidarity, respect, and responsibility) and aesthetic level (redefining the human sensorial perception of the environmental reality). Humanity has become the main engine of climate and ecological change at a global scale, in turn fueled by a general homogenization of the economic models adopted and of people's social needs and expectations.

Let us synchronize watches (by Jonas Grutzpalk, HSPV NRW, Germany)

Session description: The potential for the Geosciences to make meaningful contributions to great societal issues is immense. Yet, this also implies huge internal challenges for the Geoscience community itself. Geoethics helps to guide these efforts as a conceptual framework dealing with ethical aspects of Geoscience activities. As an expression of critical thinking and taking responsibility Geoethics is fundamental to all kinds of Geoscience subdisciplines, although it may rise different implications depending on the specific context. Often these are intimately linked to peculiarities of our discipline, e.g. its historically male-dominated character, the image of geoscientists in the public as well as a strong focus on field work. These factors may become a barrier for geoscientists' ability to answer societally relevant problems. Therefore, with this session we aim to provide a dynamic environment for discussions and works featuring a critical analysis of 1) geoscience history and its implications, 2) intra-scientific issues such as inequalities and discriminations of all kinds, 3) working methods and their implications for the environment, research objects and local communities, 4) geosciences at the interface with society, politics and other stakeholders as well as 5) geo-communication and geo-education.

Geoethics to responsibly manage local and global challenges of our times

Conveners: Silvia Peppoloni, Peter T. Bobrowsky, John Ludden, Sandra Villacorta Chambi

Session co-organized by: IAPG and IUGS.

Session description: Geoscience knowledge and expertise are essential to address a wide range of the most pressing social-environmental concerns, inform decision-making, and guide education at all levels. All branches of geosciences have cultural, social and ethical implications. Hence, geoscientists face ethical issues in their professional and civic roles. Geoscientists are becoming increasingly aware of their ethical responsibilities to serve society and foster public trust in geosciences. Geoethics aims to provide a common framework to responsibly manage questions such as geo-resources, geological risks, pollution, geoheritage, as well as geoscience-society-policy interaction and relationships with Indigenous communities. This session aims to nourish the discussion on appropriate behaviours and practices, also through case-studies, wherever human activities interact with the Earth system.

This session is included in the theme: Critical role of geoscience in Australia's future.

Oral presentations:

Silvia Peppoloni (Researcher at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome; IAPG Secretary General and Chair of the IUGS Commission on Geoethics) will give a presentation entitled "The future of geosciences: the perspective of geoethics", Giuseppe Di Capua (Researcher at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome; Treasurer of the IAPG and the IUGS Commission on Geoethics) will give a presentation entitled "Ten years of geoethics".

Geoethics at the GeoMinKöln 2022

Cologne (Germany)

Session 10.2 "Geoethics – fostering ethical perspectives in Geosciences"

Conveners: Dominic Hildebrandt (IAPG-Germany co-coordinator), Simon Schneider (IAPG-Germany co-coordinator), Martin Bohle (IAPG Board of Experts)

Session description: Geoethics is a dynamically evolving concept framing various kinds of ethical aspects of Geoscience activities. As an expression of critical thinking and taking responsibility, Geoethics is fundamental to all kinds of Geoscience subdisciplines, however raising different types of questions and problems depending on the specific context. Many of these are intimately linked to specialties of our discipline, e.g. its historically male-dominated character as well as a strong focus on field work. With this session we aim to provide a platform for current works featuring critical analysis of 1) geoscience history and its implications, 2) intra-scientific issues such as gender inequalities or racism, 3) working methods and their implications for the environment, research objects and local communities, 4) geoscientists' work at the interface to society, politics and other stakeholders including geocommunication and geoeducation. We encourage you to submit your work to our session even if your specific topic is not covered above, but has a geoethical dimension.
