  abstract = {{I}n light of the major socio-environmental challenges of our time, ensuring a safe and just world for humans and non-humans calls for profound changes in our societies. {A}ccording to the 6th {IPCC} {WG}3 report, the scale and speed of actions required to keep global warming below +2°{C} are unparalleled at both individual and institutional levels. {C}onsequently, no sector nor activity - whether in the {G}lobal {N}orth or in countries moving toward similar economic trajectories - should be exempt from critical reflection on its suitability for sustainable practices. {T}his also includes scientific research, particularly our {G}eosciences community at large, which not only brings to light the above challenges, but also increasingly calls for decisive action. {G}eoscientist communities must therefore critically reflect on the societal impact of their findings and their research practices. {T}hese considerations are being increasingly raised by ethics committees at universities and research institutes, as well as in a growing number of opinion pieces, publications, and other forms of expressions within our communities. {H}ere we present our experience of making this pressing issue a standalone chapter in the upcoming 5-year prospective document published by the {F}rench {C}ontinental {S}urfaces and {I}nterfaces research community (in {F}rench, {SIC}), coordinated through the {F}rench state research organization ({CNRS}). {T}his marks a significant difference from previous {SIC} prospective editions where such reflections were largely absent. {H}ere, we address the environmental responsibilities, strategic actions, and systemic transformations required to align {SIC} research with sustainability goals while maintaining scientific relevance. {W}e argue that the community must uphold transparency and ethical leadership to ensure a balance between the environmental benefits and impacts of research. {W}e also reflect on the potential challenges that arise from reconciling such ethical commitment with the future scientific and instrumental challenges and priorities for the future.},
