International Association for the Study of Commons (IASC)

The International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC) is a global organization dedicated to researching and promoting sustainable management of shared resources, known as "commons," such as forests, water, and grazing lands. It brings together scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange knowledge, develop policies, and support community-based solutions that ensure these resources are used fairly and sustainably for current and future generations. The IASC aims to improve understanding of common resource management to prevent overuse, conflict, and degradation of vital environmental assets worldwide.
