Resources for Future Generations

The International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) representing over 1 million earth scientists and 120 countries around the world is endorsing its first inter-congress international conference in Canada in June 2018. Vancouver will play host to this inaugural event entitled “Resources for Future Generations”. Representing some 25,000 earth scientists in Canada, this conference is being organized and delivered by four key Canadian partners – the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), the Geological Association of Canada (GAC), the Mineralogical Association of Canada (MAC) and the Canadian Federation of Earth Scientists (CFES).
The aim of this event is to address and discuss issues surrounding importance, availability and access to energy, minerals and water, from the perspective of the Earth as these resources relate to the good of all people around the world.
