At GeoScienceWorld (GSW), we have been thinking about how geoscience, and in particular the research we publish, can support United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To that end, we have undertaken a quantitative analysis of the impact and contribution of the publications on the GSW platform on the goals. You can read more about the project here. In addition, we have endorsed Geoscience in Action: Advancing Sustainable Development, a freely-available resource from UNESCO and AGU.
GSW will continue to engage global thought leaders in the geosciences to align and develop a comprehensive strategy for communicating the importance of geosciences, and illustrating how geoscientists can apply their talents and skills to solving the world’s environmental, social, and economic problems.
