------------------------------------------------------
On October 10-14, 2011 the traditional international section on GEOETHICS was organized in the framework of the 50th Jubilee Mining Pribram Symposium as a regular meeting of the Working Group for Geoethics (operating since 2004 under the umbrella of the Association of Geoscientists for International Development) and convened since 1992 by Dr. Vaclav Nemec (AGID Vice-president for Europe) and by Dr. Lidmila Nemcova (President of the Czech Society for Ethics in Economics).
The
following group of internationally recognized experts took part in the
final edition of the
Declaration
of the AGID Working Group for Geoethics
:
RECOMMENDATIONS:
To incorporate a geoethical approach to needed new
legal aspects (including insurance policy) and to an ethical way of
thinking.
To strengthen the links of geoethics with the new
aspects of the geosciences education.
To recommend the inclusion of geoethical subjects
into deontological codes.
To emphasize the liaison with the mining engineers
activities.
To remark a need of searching new priorities for the
3rd Millenium fitting the World Millenium Goals.
To recommend links for incorporating geoethics into
any activity related with the abiotic world.
In
order to avoid any misunderstanding and confusion about the character of
the meeting hosted by the Mining Pribram Symposium, future meetings
should use the term of the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
GEOETHICS.
