International Geodiversity Day Webinar

In March this year, an announcement on International Geodiversity Day of UNESCO was

put on the IGU website, stating International Geodiversity Day will enable coordinated activities to take place worldwide, highlighting the importance of geodiversity. Bringing together people, communities, organisations, and countries across the world, it is expected that this will include educational, awareness raising, and public and policy engagement activities.
