Today, @UNESCO designated 12 new Global Geoparks.
Every rock formation, every canyon and every fossil tells a story that belongs to all humanity. In just ten years, UNESCO Global Geoparks have shown that protecting geological heritage also means advancing science, strengthening education and building local resilience.
What unites its 241 sites across 51 countries is not just geological significance, but a shared commitment to pass on knowledge, with local communities at the centre.
