2007–2008–2009 International Year of Planet Earth “Earth Sciences for Society” What is the International Year of Planet Earth? IYPE aims to ensure greater and more effective use of the knowledge accumulated by the world’s 400,000 earth scientists. It is a joint initiative of UNESCO and the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). The main activities of the International Year of Planet Earth operate within science and outreach programs. The United Nations sees IYPE as a contribution to their sustainable development targets as it promotes wise (sustainable) use of Earth materials and encourages better planning and management to reduce risks for the world’s inhabitants. Why is it three years long? The International Year runs from January 2007 to December 2009. The central year of the triennium – 2008 – was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly as the UN Year.
