| Zusammenfassung |
| The responsibility and role of the scientific community in the proper exploitation of natural resources, in the defense against natural hazards and in building geoeducational strategies for the population are key themes of Geoethics.
But, what is the awareness among Geoscientists about the importance of an ethical debate within Earth Sciences?
With the goal to increase this awareness, in 2012 the IAPG – International Association for Promoting Geoethics was founded (http://www.iapg.geoethics.org).
The IAPG aims to join forces of geoscientists all over the world, by creating an international, multidisciplinary and scientific platform for discussing on ethical problems and dilemmas in Earth Sciences, for promoting Geoethics themes through scientific publications and conferences, for strengthening the research base on Geoethics, for focusing on case-studies to be taken as models for the development of effective and operative strategies.
The IAPG has obtained the status of affiliated organization by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), it is among the collaborative organizations of the IUGS – Task Group on Global Geoscience Professionalism (TGGGP), and it has been recognized as an International Associate Organization of the American Geosciences Institute (AGI).
The IAPG network is growing fast and currently it is going to reach 500 members in more than 75 countries in 5 continents.
The IAPG is working to offer its contribution in building a framework of values for a new model of development, more respectful towards the Geosphere.
After 2 years of successful results and numerous ongoing activities, IAPG appears to be on the right way in promoting new ideas to research and practice geosciences.
This work aims to give an overview on the IAPG activities, to illustrate the IAPG impact on public through web-statistics, to present publications, events and other initiatives on Geoethics carried out by its members. |
