Last week Geology for Global Development gathered 125+ students, recent graduates and professionals to consider the role of the geosciences in the Global Goals for Sustainable Development. Hearing from speakers in industry, academia, government, the public sector and civil society – we considered how we can contribute over the next 15 years to their aims of ending extreme poverty, fighting inequality/injustice, and ensuring environmental sustainability.
We’ll be writing a report of the event and sharing some key messages over the coming weeks. In the meantime you can find a wide range of resources from the event, including photographs, associated reading and PowerPoint slides on our conference web page.
We’re looking forward to continuing discussions on Geoscience and the Global Goals for Sustainable Development at the EGU General Assembly (2016), where we hope to co-convene a session on this topic (abstract submission now open).
