Geoscience Popularization
摘要
In the 21st century, geoparks have emerged globally with the crucial mission of educating the public about Earth's history and the environment. UNESCO Global Geoparks focus on leveraging the geological, ecological, and cultural elements of these parks to conduct various environmental education activities aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In concert with the significant efforts of organisations such as ProGEO, IUGS, and IUCN, the geopark initiative enhances public appreciation of geoheritage and promotes greater awareness of environmental protection in the context of climate change. Additionally, the popular science education activities enrich the tourism content of geoparks, enhancing their appeal and promoting local economic development.
