UNESCO Global Geoparks Conference 2029

The UNESCO Global Geoparks Conference 2029 hosting call invites countries and organizations to submit bids to host the 13th International Conference on UNESCO Global Geoparks in 2029. Hosts are expected to organize a major international event for 800–1,000 delegates and to demonstrate financial viability and institutional capacity. The hosting decision will be finalized in 2027, with a multi-year preparation window.

Hosts gain global visibility, institutional partnerships, and leadership positioning in sustainable development and geo-tourism.

Countries and organizations already hosting UNESCO Global Geoparks may apply to host the 2029 conference.
