[Geo4All] GeoEthics

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Chris,


Good idea. I am emailing Vice chancellors and Leadership of key universities globally to support Locus Charter, so hopefully you will get more organisations supporting Locus Charter soon. I will send more details to Nicole.



Best wishes


Suchith

While we are chatting about ethics, I would like to encourage all of you to take a look at the Locus Charter (https://ethicalgeo.org/locus-charter/), and think about your organization joining as a supporter.  We currently have 16 organizations worldwide, with a long list of organizations that are currently running it through their particular processes.

We would love to have your organization on board.  You can connect us through the web site, or contact Nicole Oveisi (noveisi at americangeo.org) directly for more information!

Thanks!
