This season, we are out in the streets, conducting tours for climate experts, university students and the public, exploring resiliency and sense of place while visiting historic sites and social community-based solutions. We’ve had the opportunity to bring visiting Chinese environmentalists and local thought leaders together in our own neighborhood on the first day of their US study tour, and everyone gained new perspectives as a result.
Our global work continues to grow, most recently adding Incheon South Korea, a Spanish green business project and a nearby county, Bergen NJ, to our roster of locally-led Green Map projects. Have you ever noticed the list of all Green Map projects? It's here, with the newest first - it's remarkable how strong the presence of Chinese Mapmakers is!
Right now, we’re reaching new audiences in Oaxaca Mexico, when we are presenting global outcomes including the maps made in China at the Ecosystem Change & Society conference. We are presenting with Mexican Green Map projects, and planning educational workshops for the coming year.
As we give people the tools needed to engage in making a local assessment, we equip them to change perspectives about community assets and liabilities. This awareness contributes to positive, cross-cutting actions with across the board benefits. Thank you for your contribution to community well-being!
