Geoparks, Parks, Territories, Communities

On October 6, marking the UNESCO International Day of Geodiversity, the Italian Federation of UNESCO Clubs and Associations (FICLU), the Italian Society of Environmental Geology (SIGEA), and the Italian Geographical Society (SGI) are organizing a conference titled "Geoparks, Parks, Territories, Communities."

Today, geoparks and parks represent an asset of extraordinary value: they are not merely areas for environmental protection but true sustainability laboratories for and with local communities, aiming to enhance landscapes, geological history, and cultural elements through a systemic approach. The conference therefore seeks to highlight the role of geoparks and parks as tools for education, research, and responsible tourism, showcasing best practices, successful experiences, and future prospects.
