Events & Courses

The 2022 Year of Sustainability will mark the final of our themed years. 

Throughout the year, we will explore the role geologists have to play in delivering the energy transition and meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a variety of research conferences, lectures and education and outreach activities.

Many of the activities will take place under the banner of our new scientific themes on the Energy Transition, Climate & Ecology, and Geohazards, Geoengineering & Georesilience. Through these themes, we will explore the responsible management and extraction of natural resources such as minerals and water and the risks posed by climate change and natural hazards. The programme will bring together scientists, community leaders and policy makers to ensure that economic development is underpinned by environmental stewardship and empowered communities.
