文摘This paper presents an overview and visualisation of the role of geology in the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).These internationally-agreed goals aim to eradicate global poverty,end unsustainable consumption patterns,and facilitate sustained and inclusive growth,social development,and environmental protection.Through a matrix visualisation,this paper presents a synthesis that relates the 17 agreed SDGs to 11 key aspects of geology.Aspects considered are agrogeology,climate change,energy,engineering geology,geohazards,geoheritage and geotourism,hydrogeology and contaminant geology,mineral and rock resources,geoeducation,geological capacity building,and a miscellaneous category.The matrix demonstrates that geologists have a role in achieving all 17 of the SDGs.
