Below are the details of the 18 new projects which will join the long list of over 650 projects from 150 countries supported by the IGCP. UNESCO is the only United Nations organization with a mandate to support research and capacity building in geology and geophysics, and the International Geoscience programme (IGCP) is our flagship. The IGCP has long been globally recognized amongst geoscientists as one of the most successful models for promoting international scientific cooperation in geosciences sharing a global vision for research. This joint venture created 48 years ago by UNESCO, and the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) continues to promote the sustainable use of natural resources, advancing new initiatives related to geo-diversity, geo-heritage and geohazards risk mitigation with the financial supports of the Jeju Province Development Corporation and UNESCO Chinese National Commission. The IGCP Council, supported by the Scientific Board, is responsible for evaluating project proposals according to the IGCP Guidelines, as well as for the quality assessment of projects in progress. This year, the Council meeting was scheduled to meet between 13-16 March 2020, but due to COVID-19 precautions and safety measures, the evaluations were held online through teleconferencing between 12-16 March 2020. In this meeting, the progress of the 31 ongoing projects was assessed and 26 new proposals - submitted as of October 2019 according to the guidelines of the Council – were reviewed.

UNESCO and IUGS would like to thank the IGCP community for their contributions and welcome new projects. IUGS-sponsored Short Course on Metallogenic Cartography A short course on Metallogenic Cartography was jointly organized in November 2019 by the International Association on the Genesis of Ore Deposits (IAGOD), the Argentine Geological Association (AGA) and the Geological and Mining Survey of Argentina (SEGEMAR). The short course, sponsored by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) and the Ibero American Association of Geological and Mining Surveys (ASGMI), was presented by a total of 12 SEGEMAR specialists and three international IAGOD experts, and was attended by a total of 26 participants. Generous IUGS scholarships were provided to ten PhD students from various Latin American universities and the attendance of a further ten geologists from the Geological Surveys of Colombia, Honduras, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Portugal, Uruguay, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic was also supported by ASGMI. All participants came away with both increased knowledge of metallogenic cartography as well as a significant amount of information to be used in their future research and mineral exploration activities. See more details on the course here <http://image.idosend.com/t/zz?t=830f51eb-f87c-41a0-9347-da54a0923d64&STARID=3430529-13037> . IAGOD aims to organize similar modular courses in other countries and invites host proposals.

The course, entitled "Energy Metals for a Sustainable Society", will address geological, technical, and societal challenges associated with "energy metals" that are needed for low CO2 footprint clean energy systems. Fig. 5 - Landscape in Namibia. The global demand for electricity is expected to grow from about 27 TWh in 2019 to about 41 TWh in 2040. Coupled with the low-carbon energy transition this creates new opportunities for the mining industry. The renewable energy sectors require huge amounts of metals for energy production, transmission, and storage. "Energy metals" are also key to manufacturing the advanced materials needed for communication products, electric mobility, and lightweight design. As a major energy consumer, the mining sector itself is a significant player in energy transition. The mining industry is required to provide raw materials for energy transition and this needs to be done in a sustainable and socially acceptable way. In Namibia, mining accounts for 25% of the country's revenue. Namibia hosts world-class, high-grade polymetallic deposits and stratabound copper-silver-cobalt deposits, world-class base metal and uranium deposits (world's 4th uranium oxide producer), and unique lithium, vanadium, germanium, gold, REE and diamond deposits. Namibia is also processing zinc from zinc-oxide ores. Internationally recognized experts will give lectures, lead workshops and field trips to bring together people from academia, industry and government.

Heritage Stones Subcommission: extension of the activities of the IGCP-637 The IUGS Heritage Stones Subcommission will continue activities on the recognition of natural stones in the context of architectural and cultural heritage. The project: Project 637 - Heritage Stones: a step towards to widen up the recognition of stones used in the building of heritage in emerging countries will work on the recognition of stones with emphasis on those from emerging countries from Africa, Middle East and South Asia. More information on the new approved project can be found here <http://image.idosend.com/t/zz?t=1905a103-5f96-4397-9120-8ce7b6edb41d&STARID=3430529-13037> . News from the IUGS Initiative on Forensic Geology (IFG) IUGS Special Project IFG is continuing the IUGS ‘Special Project' to evaluate the current global scale of crimes that take place in the mining, minerals and metals industry, and assess geological methodologies and strategies, which may aid in the detection, prevention, management and mitigation of these crimes. During 2020, this will continue as a desk study, a meeting will then be held in South America when international travel is permitted after COVID-19. Forensic Geology Soil Collection Training Video In 2019, IFG supported a FBI led training video on the collection of soil for the provision of geological trace evidence, available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/o9dWZOj1U5A <http://image.idosend.com/t/zz?t=2bf26aa0-ab6a-4b99-b3f9-f26a722bf606&STARID=3430529-13037>. This transcript will be translated by the IFG Committee into Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Indian (Hindi), Italian, Japanese and Russian. Forensic Geology in India The Geological Survey of India has agreed to support the development of Forensic Geology in India. This includes conventional forensic geology applied to policing and law enforcement and environmental geoforensics. IFG Web Site Upgrade The IFG web site is in the process of being updated and upgraded. The new web site is expected to be available later in 2020. EDITORS' NOTES: CONTRIBUTING TO THE IUGS E-BULLETIN, WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA IUGS wishes to better co-ordinate public cation of information on *news, events and achievements* arising from IUGS activities (*not science reports or papers*).
