In 2021, UNESCO adopted the International Geodiversity Day initiative, and since 2022 it is celebrated worldwide on the 6th of October. The term ‘geodiversity’ incorporates every natural abiotic element of our planet, whereas geoheritage is a part of geodiversity worthy of protection. In fact, the very foundation of the ecosystem and life itself are rooted in geodiversity and geoheritage because Earth's processes affect the habitats of every living creature. Therefore, the recognition of geodiversity’s importance is one of the main pillars of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and influences nearly all the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
The aim of this session is to provide a broad platform for studies dealing with geodiversity and geoheritage and to draw the scientific community's attention to the importance and diversity hiding in this relatively new science field. The focus areas are the following:
● geodiversity and geoheritage assessment methodologies and case studies,
● geoconservation and geotourism management,
● social and cultural connections to geodiversity and geoheritage,
● interrelations between geodiversity, biodiversity, and climatic diversity,
● the contribution of geodiversity and geoheritage to sustainable development.
The session is co-organised by the Geomorphosites Working Group of the International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) and ProGEO, the International Association for the Conservation of Geological Heritage.
Public information:
We would like to continue the so-called "indoor picnic" tradition organised during some of the geodiversity and geoheritage sessions. Thus, we encourage the participants of the session to bring some local products (food, drinks...) related to geodiversity, geoheritage or simply to their area of study. Looking forward to meeting you on this special occasion!
