The Global Geoparks Network

The Logo of GNN

The Global Geoparks Network (GGN), of which membership is obligatory for UNESCO Global Geoparks, is a legally constituted NPO with an annual membership fee. The GGN was founded in 2004 and is a dynamic network where members are committed to work together, exchange ideas of best practice, and undertake common projects to raise the quality standards of all products and practices of a UNESCO Global Geopark. While the GGN as a whole comes together every two years, it functions through the operation of regional networks, such as the European Geoparks Network that meets twice a year to develop and promote joint activities.
