The IGC is the quadrennial meeting
of the International Geographical Union (IGU). The congress combines
the traditional meetings of the IGC Commissions with a wide range of
sessions addressing the following four key topics:
Global Change and Globalisation
Society and Environment
Risks and Conflicts
Urbanisation and Demographic Change
Geographers bring the wide-ranging perspectives and methodology of
their subject to bear on these four major thematic complexes and
contribute to the solution of urgent scientific and socio-political
issues – bringing research down to earth.
