This year NSG2025 will open with a timely and thought-provoking panel on the power of geoscience communication. In an era marked by rising environmental risks, public scepticism, and growing social complexity, geoscientists are increasingly called to go beyond data, to communicate clearly, ethically, and inclusively. The NSG2025 Opening Session will focus on communication strategies in the context of geohazards, drawing cross-sector insights from the mining sector and beyond. Together with leading voices in risk communication, stakeholder engagement, and early warning systems, we’ll explore: - How to build community trust around geoscientific findings - How to address fear and misinformation in sensitive areas like the Phlegraean Fields - The role of culture, pedagogy, and youth engagement in long-term preparedness and resilience
