The trails are paths connecting landscapes and people. In this work we present a methodological systematization proposal for geosystemic approach to geodiversity in Atlantic Forest trails, articulating its bases with the principles of geoethics and environmental interpretation aiming to contribute to the achievement of the Development Sustainable Goals of the 2030 Agenda. Studies on geodiversity, on geoethical perspective, point to the need for a change in behavior and responsible attitudes of geoscientists towards the Earth System. In this context, environmental interpretation constitutes a fundamental strategy for communication with society. The proposal is presented based on three case studies in the State of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil): Caminho Darwin at Serra da Tiririca, Travessia Petrópolis-Teresópolis and Transcarioca. Based on experiences and scientific research developed, in line with the demands of managers and trail users in each territory, the promotion of public use in protected areas becomes a great ally for geotourism and geoeducation activities, contributing to responsible socio-environmental development. The different territorial scales involved show the challenge and methodological relevance of this type of systematization, with a new approach in trails, which are presented as strategies to achieve 14 DSG.
