20th Anniversary GGN Celebration
2024 marks a major milestone for our Global Geoparks Network (GGN), as we celebrate 20-years history of our Network. The 20th Anniversary of our Global Geoparks Network marks 20 years since the foundation of a Global Network of cooperation among Geoparks worldwide in order to promote the three main goals of conserving our Geological Heritage and planet Earth, our common home, educating the public in Earth Sciences, and fostering sustainable local development.
The Global Geoparks Network (GGN) was initially founded in 2004 as an international partnership developed under the umbrella of UNESCO and serves to develop models of best practice and set quality-standards for territories that integrate the protection of Earth heritage sites in a strategy for sustainable economic development. Networking and collaboration among the Global Geoparks is the most important component of the Global Geoparks Network.
The Global Geoparks Network for its 20th Anniversary launches a special logo designed in the context of its birthday celebration. The 20th Anniversary logo inaugurates the GGN’s anniversary campaign and the GGN invites all its members to participate in its celebrations.
The Global Geoparks Network will also organize a variety of events, contests, will produce a celebration video campaigns and a social media campaign all around the year. A regularly updated calendar of events at the GGN website is presenting all these events.
