International Geodiversity Day—“One Earth, Many Stories”, 6 October 2025
International Geodiversity Day 2025, to be observed on 6 October, celebrates the theme “One Earth, Many Stories”. This year’s campaign highlights the vital role of geodiversity—encompassing rocks, fossils, soils, and landscapes—in shaping Earth’s 4-billion-year history and supporting ecosystems, sustainable development, and climate resilience. The observance of this day calls on governments, researchers, educators, and communities worldwide to recognize, protect, and promote geodiversity as a foundation for understanding our planet and addressing today’s global challenges.
At MDPI, we are proud to support this important initiative. Through our open access journals, we aim to provide a platform for researchers to share knowledge, innovations, and best practices that advance the study and preservation of geodiversity. By fostering global collaboration and promoting scientific insights, we contribute to safeguarding the stories of our Earth for future generations.
