Green Map System: Promoting inclusive participation in sustainable community development since 1995 Engaging 660 communities in 55 countries, more than 400 locally published, uniquely designed Green Maps are already being used by millions of people

A Green Map is a locally created map that uses Green Map Icons to chart local green living, natural, social and cultural resources

We partner with students, community groups, NGOs, tourism and city agencies, social entrepreneurs and others Each Green Map project has its own locally determined goals

Multimedia Resources Multilingual books, guides, workshops, exhibits, websites Archives Green Maps, stories, videos, presentations and exchanges

Thousands of local green living, nature, social innovation and cultural sites have been charted in cities, towns and villages Green Map Icons identify, promote and link each site.
