This is the first time that there is a Spanish representative in this management body, so from the Sobrarbe-Pirineos Geopark we are very proud, and it is a great honor that our representative has been appointed to this position of responsibility. From there she will work to contribute to the development of the UNESCO Global Geoparks, within the framework of the International Geosciences and Geoparks Program. And always in collaboration with the rest of the members of the Board and with the aim of continuing the progress and the strengthening of the program during the next years.



The Council of Geoparks of UNESCO, composed of twelve members appointed by the Director General of UNESCO, is the body responsible for evaluating new candidatures for the UNESCO Global Geoparks Program, as well as the revalidation of existing Geoparks, through the preparation of the corresponding reports for the Executive Board of UNESCO. In addition, it has a key advisory role for the Director General of UNESCO in the strategy, planning and implementation of the UNESCO Global Geoparks.



The Council is composed of 12 members with voting rights, all high-profile experts chosen for their proven experience, scientific or professional qualifications. They are appointed by the Director General of UNESCO on the recommendation of the Global Geoparks Network (GGN) and the Member States. The Council has 4 members without the right to vote. These are the Director General of UNESCO, the President of the GGN, the Secretary General of the IUGS and the Director General of the IUCN or their representatives.



The Council meets once a year during a regional or international conference on UNESCO Global Geoparks. The next meeting will take place on September 8 and 9, 2018, in Adamello Brenta UNESCO Global Geopark, Italy, which will be attended by Ana Ruíz.
