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. More details can be found at http://www.geodiversityday.org/.
6th October 2022 is the first International Geodiversity Day. In order to enhance awareness of this international day and the significance of geodiversity, the IGU Executive Committee is pleased to invite those interested to a Zoom Webinar, to be held on 6 October from 11:00 – 12:00 GMT. The webinar will be coordinated by Yukio Himiyama (IGU Past President), who can be reached at yukiohimiyama@gmail.com. Up to 100 people can take part in the webinar and the outcome of the webinar will be reported and discussed at the IGU Executive Committee meeting planned for 18 October.
