The theme of this year is "geoethics for a sustainable energy future".
The International Geoethics Day 2025 highlights the ethical responsibility of geoscientists in shaping a sustainable energy future. Access to energy resources is essential for human development, yet their exploration, production, and use raise critical questions about environmental protection, social justice, and intergenerational equity. By applying geoscientific knowledge with a geoethical perspective, geoscientists contribute to responsible resource management, the mitigation of climate change impacts, and the promotion of renewable and low-impact energy solutions. Valuing geoethics in energy choices means fostering resilience, safeguarding ecosystems, and ensuring that today's decisions contribute to the well-being of future generations.
If you want to organize an event (conference, webinar, seminar, field trip, etc.) to celebrate the International Geoethics Day 2025, please inform the IAPG Secretariat by sending an email to: iapgeoethics@aol.com. IAPG will be happy to promote your event.
