Advancing geography
We are the learned society and professional body for geography.
Our work aims to promote geographical research and advance geography as a leading discipline, both nationally and internationally, enhancing a shared understanding of our inter-dependent world.
We encourage and enable the benefits of geographical learning and skills, educating people of all ages for life as global citizens in a rapidly changing world.
We work to promote the wider understanding, relevance and enjoyment of geography, recognising the public’s growing thirst for knowledge about our world.
By supporting the recognition and understanding of the relevance of geography and geographical information to policy, we aim to place geography firmly in the debates about the future of places, environments and communities.
And we encourage and develop the Society’s membership and staff, supporting its charitable activities and reinforcing the importance of professional standards in geographical knowledge and skills.
