Theme: Advancing Climate Science and Environmental Resilience
Introduction
The Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS), established in 2003, is a leading scientific organisation dedicated to the study of earth systems, climate, oceans, and natural hazards. Representing countries across the Asia–Pacific region, AOGS promotes scientific knowledge essential for environmental resilience and sustainable development.
Key Sustainability Event: AOGS Annual Meeting
The AOGS Annual Meeting is the organisation’s flagship sustainability event. It brings together climate scientists, environmental researchers, disaster specialists, and policymakers to discuss climate change, sea-level rise, atmospheric pollution, and natural hazard risks in the region.
Contribution to Environmental Understanding
The Annual Meeting produces high-impact research on climate change, extreme weather trends, water security, and geological risks. These findings help governments shape environmental policies and early-warning systems, improving preparedness against floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons.
Impact on Regional Communities
By improving understanding of natural hazards, AOGS indirectly protects vulnerable communities. Discussions on water management, food security, and coastal protection support long-term social resilience. The meeting promotes knowledge-sharing across developing and developed economies, reducing scientific inequality.
Influence on Policy and Governance
AOGS provides scientific evidence used in national climate strategies and regional environmental agreements. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, it strengthens scientific governance and encourages data transparency, enabling policymakers to make informed environmental decisions.
