Following an invitation from the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, the Royal Geographical Society and the International Geographical Union, the Geographical Society of Ireland participated in an online International Geographical Society Gathering on 22 June 2021, ahead of the Conferences of the Parties meeting scheduled for later in the year for Glasgow, UK. The main objective of the ‘gathering’ was to bring together geographers from different geographical societies to find out what is being done by Geographers in these different communities in relation to the climate (and biodiversity) crisis, and what we might be able to do, as Geographers, in order to meaningfully address the issue. 65 people from 30 countries participated at the event and more than 10 geographical societies, including GSI shared their activities and projects related to these important topics.
The gathering also considered a Joint Statement on the climate and biodiversity crises to be signed by a range of the world's Geographical Societies. The GSI look forward to further supporting this and other initiatives so we can play our part in drawing attention to, understanding and developing solutions to these major global challenges of our time.
