在过去两年中，国际地理联盟地理教育委员会参与了两个重要文件的宣言：2016年在北京宣布的《国际宪章》和2015年在莫斯科宣布的《国际地理教育宣言》。这两份宣言都强调了国际合作的重要性，特别是在地理教育领域分享研究成果和理解方面。委员会为实现这些目标而面临的挑战之一是，不同国家地理教育的地位和范围存在巨大差异。根据地理教育在国家课程中的地位表明可能对研究和研究成果进行投资这一假设，本文利用世界各地地理教育流行的数据，分析了对这一主题规定的不同重要性程度。结果表明，随着地理在不同地方的繁荣和豁免，国际地理教育工作者的聚集从未像现在这样及时。论文强调了像IGU-CGE这样的组织在国家课程内以及作为一个调查和学术研究领域为地理教育提供政治支持的重要作用。
In the last two years the Commission of Geography Education of the International Geographical Union (IGU-CGE) has been involved in the declaration of two key documents: the 2016 International Charter, declared in Beijing, and the International Declaration on Geography Education, declared in Moscow in 2015. Both of these declarations emphasise the importance of international collaboration particularly around the sharing of research findings and understandings within geography education. One of the challenges facing the commission to meet these objectives is the huge variety in the status and scope of geography education in different countries. Based on the assumption that the status of geography education within National Curricula indicates the likely investment in research and research findings, the paper draws upon data on the prevalence of geography education around the world, to analyse the differing levels of importance prescribed to the subject. The results indicate that a coming together of international geography educators has never been timelier, as geography flourishes and waivers significantly in different places. The paper highlights the important role of organisations like the IGU- CGE to offer political support for geography education both within National Curricula but also as a field of enquiry and scholarly research.
