“Inherently Global”

traditional approaches to solving global problems
• Treaties and conventions (Kyoto)
• Intergovernmental conferences (World Summit on the Information Society)
• Global multilateral institutions (World Bank)

translating what we’ve learned from the
commons holds the key

What is the commons?

"A commons arises whenever a given community decides that it wishes to manage a resource in a collective manner, with a special regard for equitable access, use and sustainability. It is a social form that has long lived in the shadows of our market culture, but which is now on the rise."
David Bollier

If property can enclose a commons, then property can also create a commons

Problems
1. Are we really developing global solutions to global problems?
2. Is focusing on access rather than participation really the best outreach for the commons?

the visionOur vision is of a world where there is widespread participation in global innovation, digital culture and knowledge-building initiatives, based on equitable access to technology, education, science and culture – a world where people are using the organizing power of technologies and the spirit of the commons to work together to solve crucial global challenges.
