The My Community, Our Earth Project: Geographic Learning for Sustainable Development (MyCOE) project is a partnership to encourage youth to use geographic tools and concepts to address local issues of sustainability. By participating in MyCOE, young people from around the world can examine and learn more about environmental issues, determine patterns and trends, and propose solutions to the challenges they study.
