Global Commons Institute

The Global Commons Institute (GCI) is an organization dedicated to addressing climate change by promoting fair and effective policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It focuses on managing shared natural resources—like the atmosphere and global climate—much like commons that everyone relies on but no one owns. GCI advocates for solutions such as the "Contraction and Convergence" model, which aims to fairly allocate emission reductions among countries, balancing environmental responsibility with economic development. Its goal is to foster global cooperation to stabilize the climate while ensuring equitable treatment for all nations.
