Sustainability goals

The UNESCO Global Geopark Harz . Braunschweiger Land . Ostfalen is one of 147 UNESCO Geoparks in 41 countries worldwide. UNESCO Geoparks are areas with geological sites and landscapes of international geoscientific importance. They invite visitors to follow in the footsteps of the past to better understand our planet and the conditions of life and to create regions worth living in.

Our tasks as a UNESCO Geopark are many and varied:

- We are preserving geoscientific heritage of international importance for the future.

- We make this heritage accessible to visitors and residents alike.  

   understandable and tangible through education, protection and moderation of the sustainable development of their region.

- We promote identification with the region, tourism and sustainable economic development.

- We work closely together around the world so that earth history can also be experienced in other countries and the

   future is sustainably shaped there.
