The European Federation of Geologists (EFG) has unveiled its Policy Manifesto during a high-profile policy dialogue held at the European Parliament on 21 November. Titled ‘Geology for a Safe, Secure, and Sustainable Europe‘ the event has emphasized the vital role of geosciences in addressing Europe’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, sustainable resource management, and economic growth.
This event has brought together representatives from European institutions (including Members of the European Parliament and representatives from the European Commission), and leading figures in the geoscience community.
Delegates from the EFG National Associations, along with EFG’s key partners, have engaged in a dialogue to foster collaboration between policymakers and geologists to guarantee a safe and sustainable future.
During the launch of the ‘EFG Policy Manifesto: Geology’s Vital Contribution to European Competitiveness’, the solutions geology offers for the challenges society faces have been presented. The expertise of geoscientists contributes to multiple Sustainable Development Goals.
With the publication of the Policy Manifesto as a guiding driver, the EFG has reaffirmed its commitment to aligning its expertise with European Union goals and its purpose of advocating for the key role of geoscience in promoting sustainable development and ensuring a competitive, secure future for all.
