How can geoscience support sustainable development?
Many of the SDGs require improved management of natural resources (e.g., land, energy, water, minerals), or understanding of Earth processes to ensure people, jobs and infrastructure are resilient to environmental change or geological hazards.
We advocate for the integration of geoscience into sustainable development at international forums, and are working to reshape the global geoscience community to better serve society.
Our international work has supported water-management research in Tanzania, disaster-risk reduction in Guatemala, and access to geoscience textbooks and training materials. Explore how these projects connect geoscience with sustainable development.
