Global Geoparks Network

The Global Network of National Geoparks, commonly referred to as Global Geoparks Network (GGN), is an international, non-governmental, non-profit and voluntary network, which provides a platform of cooperation among Geoparks, brings together government agencies, non-governmental organizations, scientists,  and communities from all countries around the world in a unique worldwide partnership and operates according to UNESCO regulations.

The GGN mission is to influence, encourage and assist local societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of abiotic and biotic nature, to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and sustainable and to support economic and cultural development of local communities through the valorisation of their unique heritage and identity. It seeks to enhance the value of such sites while at the same time creating employment and promoting regional and local economic development.
