Regional Networks
The Global Geopark Network (GGN) is strategically organized into regional networks, allowing for greater cooperation and exchange between Geoparks. Currently, there are five active Regional Networks operating within the GGN, each fostering a sense of community and collaboration between Geoparks in their respective areas. This structure also amplifies their collective impact on education, tourism and environmental management. Together, these UNESCO Global Geoparks are working to protect the geological heritage of our planet while promoting sustainable practices for future generations.
