Commons Knowledge Alliance

The earth cries out for a new story — a story of a world that works for everyone.

Such a story invites us to consider there is more that unites us than divides us. Not only do we have a common genetic inheritance, we have a common cultural inheritance founded on a deep set of shared aspirations—for security, for the wellbeing of our loved ones, and for full participation in the possibilities of life.

These aspirations lead us to understand that effective stewardship of the biosphere is essential, that societal responsibilities must balance short-term and long-term requirements, and that informed citizens can effectively self-organize to manage their affairs.

The actualization of these aspirations is best served by a vibrant appreciation of the global commons — the rich reservoir of natural and cultural resources upon which we depend for life. The Commons Knowledge Alliance is dedicated to enabling people to deepen their understanding of and participation in the global commons.
