The GGN Executive Board at its last meeting decided the announcement of the Global Geoparks Network (GGN) Best Practices Awards.

The GGN Best Practices Award aims to promote, enhance and encourage the development of innovative initiatives inside the UNESCO Global Geoparks. The award recognizes pioneering practices and initiatives that contribute to a more effective and dynamic network, set worthy examples for others to emulate, and create greater public recognition of the UNESCO Global Geoparks.

The prize honours the management and/or a partner of a UNESCO Global Geoparks for the pioneering nature and quality of the initiative, encouraging all UNESCO Global Geoparks to work in the same way. The GGN Best Practice Awards should be submitted by the Geoparks’ Evaluators or by the UNESCO Global Geoparks managers.
