The CIPSH Chair on Geoethics is focused on creating a research network aimed at developing discussions on a global ethics grounded in geoethics, i.e. an ethics of responsibility towards the Earth system, through the lens of different cultural perspectives. Geoethics, initially developed to address the ethical and social implications of geoscience knowledge and practice, needs interdisciplinary approaches to develop its potential as an ethics capable of fostering a planetary ecological humanism. In this perspective, geoethics is the meeting point between geosciences, humanities and social sciences. The cooperation between scholars with different disciplinary background is the challenge for dealing with the anthropogenic global changes of social-ecological systems and creating pathways for a responsible human progress. From this point of view, the goals of the CIPSH Chair on Geoethics are in line with CIPSH mission of favouring the exchange of knowledge among scholars from different disciplines, international cooperation and the promotion of the richness and diversity of cultures.
The CIPSH Chair on Geoethics is hosted by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology), Rome, Italy
