Conserving The Past – Sustaining The Future: International Geodiversity Day 2024
October 6
The theme for this year’s International Geodiversity Day, to be held on Sunday 6th October 2024, will be ‘Conserving The Past – Sustaining The Future’.
International Geodiversity Day was proclaimed by UNESCO in 2021, following a grassroots campaign by geoscience organisations around the world. Geodiversity is all around us, and includes the parts of nature that aren’t alive; like minerals, fossils, soils, and landscapes. Geodiversity Day is a worldwide celebration to bring people together in promoting the many aspects of geodiversity, and its importance to society.
