About us
AGU is a global community supporting more than half a million advocates and professionals in Earth and space sciences. Through broad and inclusive partnerships, AGU aims to advance discovery and solution science that accelerate knowledge and create solutions that are ethical, unbiased and respectful of communities and their values. Our programs include serving as a scholarly publisher, convening virtual and in-person events and providing career support. We live our values in everything we do, such as our net zero energy renovated building in Washington, D.C. and our Ethics and Equity Center, which fosters a diverse and inclusive geoscience community to ensure responsible conduct. AGU was established in 1919 by the National Research Council and operated as an unincorporated affiliate of the National Academy of Sciences for more than 50 years. We were independently incorporated in 1972.

🌍 With the growing urgency of the climate crisis, climate intervention research is gaining attention. An Ethical Framework has been developed to guide this research, centered around 5 key principles: Responsible Research, Climate Justice, Public Participation, Transparency, and Informed Governance. These principles aim to ensure that climate intervention methods are explored in a responsible, just, and transparent manner. Learn more about how ethical decision-making can shape the future of climate action: https://lnkd.in/guvHJqsP #ClimateAction #EthicalResearch #ClimateJustice #Sustainability
