Summary:
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) introduced various perspectives, from the evolution of the Concept of the Commons to the New and Emergent Ones. The introductions were followed by a dialogue and explorations over lunch. Part 2 of the event, after lunch, was a sharing of the entire group’s ideas and proposals.
Speaker: Lalith Gunaratne
Subject:Â The New Commons
Time:Â Â Â Â 30 September 2026 11:00-3:00 Eastern Time (US and Canada)
