How UNESCO contributes to society by supporting Earth Sciences:
Geoscience and Society: the view from lockdown
- Geology for Sustainable Development (IGCP685) project connected with senior geoscientists in BHP to initiate a top-level ‘scenarios planning’ research project to explore the future of geoscience. Video interviews (via Zoom or Webex) have been recorded with over 25 Participants from the recordings and offer a rich real-world archive to key themes that are emerging around how geoscience and geoscientists are evolving to address societal issues, especially around sustainable development.
