THE ORGANIZATION

IGCP is interdisciplinary. It covers the different fields in earth sciences and is linked with other UNESCO scientific programmes. It maintains active interfaces with displines such as water, ecological, marine, atmospheric and biological sciences. IGCP operates in about 150 countries and involves several thousands of scientists.

Reflecting the contemporary needs of society, the four main objectives of IGCP are:

  • To increase the understanding of the different factors influencing the environment in order to improve human living conditions and wise management of the Earth as a human habitat.
  • To develop more effective ways to search and assess natural resources of energy and minerals.
  • To enhance knowledge of the Earth's geological processes and concepts through correlative studies of sites and locations around the globe.
  • To improve standards of research methods and techniques.
