📆6 October, is the International Geodiversity Day, proclaimed at the 41st session of the UNESCO General Conference in 2021. Russia was one of the coauthors of the relevant #UNESCO draft decision.
☝️Geodiversity has an essential role for human well-being and for sustainable management of the whole planet, being an intrinsic part of humanity’s relationship with nature and of human history.
Our country continues to make an important contribution to the preservation of the Earth's unique geodiversity and geoheritage. The Russian Geopark “Yangan-Tau”, included in the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network, is a clear example of such efforts.
📣We congratulate all representatives of the professional community on this significant Day!

🎙️Statement of Permanent Delegate of Russia, Mr. Rinat Alyautdinov at the Plenary session of 220th session of the UNESCO Executive Board:
💬In recent years, UNESCO has been experiencing a crisis, perhaps the most acute in its entire history. The substitution of the principles of international law by the notorious "rules-based order", persistently promoted by the West, has a devastating effect on #UNESCO. Politicization of the Organization's agenda, juggling with the Rules of its procedure, and disregard for the spirit of consensus are becoming commonplace. However, the attempts to resolve political issues in the UNESCO format have no prospect. The desire to isolate individual countries is a path to nowhere, undermining the foundation of our Organization – its universal character. Such actions have already led to a slowdown in the implementation of the Global Priorities and Programme Activities.

🎙Deputy Permanent Delegate of Russia🇷🇺 to UNESCO Mr. Kirill Rynza in connection with discussion regarding Crimea at 220th session of #UNESCO Executive Board:
📍Western countries again demonstrated double standards, ignoring the goals, programme guidelines and UNESCO Constitution in order to promote selfish geopolitical interests.
📍The accusations against Russia are unfounded, the Secretariat obediently prepared again a ridiculous report on virtual monitoring based on information from Kiev.
📍The latter calls into question independence and impartiality of the international officials who drafted this report. It damages UNESCO's reputation.
