Geology for Global Development (GfGD)

Today we launch our new 10-year strategy. With an emphasis on ‘leaving no one behind’ we aim to transform understanding of, access to, and capacity to use the geoscience required to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (#SDGs). Read more: gfgd.org/news-events/20…

6/ 🌍 As systems expand, @Geo_Dev champions the value of local geoscience and community-driven approaches in building effective early warnings. 📢 Read the full piece from @WillVeness via @EuroGeosciences: 🔗 blogs.egu.eu/geolog/2025/07…

5/ To ensure EW4ALL is effective for all, we must: ✅ Invest in local geoscience ✅ Strengthen community-scientist partnerships ✅ Build local technical capacity ✅ Combine data sources thoughtfully ✅ Prioritise trusted communication

🧵 1/ “Early warnings must be grounded in local realities, not just global models.” As the EW4ALL initiative gains momentum, @WillVeness explores how early warning systems can be made accurate, trusted, and truly life-saving. 👇

🌐 Geoscience is key to achieving the #2030Agenda, including the #SendaiFramework. We must ensure no one is left behind, and this means reducing disaster risk. Let’s turn science into action. #SendaiFramework #GP2025 #DRR #SustainableDevelopment

📢 In partnership with @theAGU, @EuroGeosciences, @geolsoc, @GloVolcRisk & @theIUGG, we’ve issued a joint statement calling for: 1️⃣ Better Earth + environmental data 2️⃣ Support for science in LICs 3️⃣ Public geoscience education #DRR #GP2025 gfgd.org/news-events/20…

🌍 Next week, key stakeholders gather in Geneva for the Global Platform for #DisasterRiskReduction. It's a vital moment to assess progress on the #SendaiFramework and shape a safer, more resilient future. #GP2025 #DRR #Resilience

The 2025 UN STI Forum is a valuable space for exploring how science, tech and innovation can drive progress on the SDGs. Relevant for those working across geoscience and development. Follow along via the STIForum10 hashtag ⬇️

Expressions of interest (CV and/or cover letter) are welcome by 21 March 2025. Applications submitted after this date may be considered if vacancies remain. For more information on how to apply: gfgd.org/call-for-trust… 5/5
