The Commons movement
The Commons movement advocates for the collective management and sustainable use of shared resources—such as land, water, and knowledge—by communities rather than private or government control. It emphasizes collaboration, local empowerment, and environmental stewardship to ensure these resources remain accessible and healthy for current and future generations. The movement challenges the idea that resources should be solely owned or exploited for profit, promoting instead a balance between human needs, ecological health, and social equity through participatory decision-making.
