Speaker: Lalith Gunaratne

Subject:  The New Commons

Time:       30 September 2026 11:00-3:00 Eastern Time (US and Canada)

The speed of sociotechnical transformations since Elinor Ostrom’s Governing of the Commons in 1990s and the Club of Rome/CACOR’s September 2013 themed Conference in Ottawa, prompted CACOR’s Values Group to address the emergent Values, Limitations, Challenges and Prospects of the Old and New Commons.

A panel of four speakers (Tim Lash, Paul Maillet, Michael Nickerson, John Verdun), a moderator (Lalith Gunarathne) and a lead (Gabriela Gref Innes) will introduce various perspectives, from the evolution of the Concept of the Commons to the New and Emergent Ones.

The introductions will be followed by a dialogue and explorations over lunch.  Part 2 of the event, after lunch, will be a sharing of the entire group’s ideas and proposals.

Members are encouraged to bring a GUEST!!

Registration fee (which will include lunch) is just $20, accepted online or paid at the door.

This is a live in person event.  The introductory presentations will be available as a recording following the event.
