International Geoscience Programme

The International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) is a collaborative initiative coordinated by UNESCO that fosters global scientific research and capacity-building in geosciences. It brings together scientists from different countries to study Earth's processes, such as geology, mineral resources, and natural hazards, especially from regions that may lack resources. By promoting international cooperation, training, and sharing knowledge, IGCP aims to improve understanding of Earth's systems, support sustainable development, and address environmental challenges, ensuring a better comprehension of our planet for the benefit of all humanity.
