Green Map of the Green Map Projects

We're envisioning a digital archive, made in collaboration with the Green Mapmakers that will share the outcomes, artifacts, media and story of each Green Map project.

This Green Map of the Green Map Projects (aka the Map of Maps) will be built on our versatile mapping platform.  Our plan is to open it to the public in summer 2025.  Here's our initial concept sketch of the Map of Maps and two examples of how Green Map projects might appear. 

There are so reasons and ways to use this archive and share its stories and Green Maps in other formats, too. It will be a tremendous resource, and will complement our print map archives.

Please share our backgrounder at bit.ly/GMarchive724
    - we welcome your ideas and  support, too!

We have a survey for Green Mapmakers and the first dozen to respond come from Canada, Cuba, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel,  Taiwan, Uganda, UK and US!  100% said they'd consider relicensing their copyrighted work to share.   A few comments: 

“Map of Maps is an excellent idea, since it is an opportunity to learn about other experiences and make our own visible, it allows us to have a historical memory of the international and local Green Map. They will be very useful materials for future generations” Liana Bidart, Maps Verde Red, Havana

“The worldwide exchange of initiatives, green enterprises and individuals is also important regarding climate change. The categorized symbol set in use within these maps helps users … to orientate and meet people with similar spirit. That setup enhances synergies among people that prior to publishing these maps would very much likely never meet and interact.” Peter van de Loo, Berlin Green Map
