As the learned society and professional body for geography, we  advance geographic research, nationally and globally, to improve understanding of our connected world.

We support teaching, educating people as local and global citizens in a rapidly changing world, through formal learning, fieldwork and expeditions.

We promote the relevance of geography, recognising public interest in our world.

We foster the recognition and understanding of geography to policy, placing it firmly in debates about the futures of places, environments and communities.

We promote and develop Society membership and staff, supporting charitable activities and reinforcing the professional standards in geographical knowledge and skills.
