The CGMW, the oldest international organization in geoscience after the International Geological Congress (IGC), was created in 1881

It is a non-profit-making scientific and educational body governed by French law and a rank A Non-Government Organization (NGO) eligible for UNESCO funding.

The CGMW is responsible for designing, promoting, coordinating and publishing small-scale thematic Earth Science maps of the continents, oceans and the world.

Our programs are carried out in partnership with geological surveys (contributors 1/3), universities, oceanographic institutions and industrial firms, in close coordination and with the support of UNESCO and IUGS.
