Green Maps Around the World

Green Map System promotes inclusive participation in sustainable community development around the world, using mapmaking as the medium. Over 350 vibrant Green Maps have published to date, and hundreds more have been created in classrooms and workshops by youth and adults. Both the mapmaking process and the resulting Green Maps have tangible effects that:

  • Strengthen local-global sustainability networks
  • Expand the demand for healthier, greener choices
  • Help successful initiatives spread to even more communities
Green Map System has been developed collaboratively since 1995, and is now active in 475 cities, villages and neighbourhoods in 54 countries. GMS and its network of regional hubs and community-led Green Map projects share the award-winning outcomes through their online profiles, blogs, Green Map books and media productions, workshops and other public presentations.
