International Association for the Study of the Commons

The International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC) is a global organization dedicated to understanding how groups share and manage resources like water, land, and ecosystems. It brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to promote sustainable and equitable use of common resources. The IASC facilitates knowledge exchange, supports collaborative solutions, and explores how communities can effectively govern shared assets to prevent overuse and conflict, ensuring long-term resource availability for all.
