The global commons of the Anthropocene<\/strong>\u2014<\/strong>ranging from rainforests to oceans and glaciers<\/strong>\u2014<\/strong>are essential for the stability and resilience of our planet. Researchers from the Transitions to New Technologies Program and collaborators explored the changing nature of these global commons in the 21st\u00a0century, in a paper published at the request of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” transparent_background=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n \u2018Global commons\u2019 are resources shared by all on Earth. They include natural resources such as the oceans and the atmosphere, along with human-made phenomena such as cyberspace. Traditional definitions rooted in international law state that to be \u2018global\u2019 the commons must lie outside national jurisdiction.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/ar16.iiasa.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/TNT_Humanities-1.jpg” title_text=”CLICK TO ENLARGE” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”left” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Caption” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n The Global Commons in the Anthropocene concept builds upon advances in research and in the international environmental and development policy process of the past decades.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n But the stability and resilience of the planet are influenced not only by the resources shared among nations. All ecosystems, biomes, and processes that regulate the stability and resilience of the Earth system are common to humanity: they are the new \u2018global commons of the Anthropocene.\u2019 These are both global commons as recognized under international law but also resources within national jurisdictions, such as rainforests, sea ice, mangroves, and biodiversity [1].<\/p>\n In a 2016, researchers from the IIASA Transitions to new Technologies Program published a paper entitled \u201cGlobal Commons in the Anthropocene: World Development on a Stable and Resilient Planet<\/em>\u201d exploring the changing nature of the global commons in the 21st\u00a0century. The paper, written in collaboration with the Stockholm Resilience Centre, was requested by the GEF<\/a> and the IUCN<\/a> to complement their new initiative Our Global Commons.<\/em><\/p>\n The paper was launched at a science-policy conference International Dialogue on the Global Commons<\/a>, convened at the US National Academy of Sciences jointly by GEF and IUCN. The conference kick-started a broader dialogue on the need to reassess the global commons at all scales in light of the growing human pressures on Earth\u2019s life-support systems and to renew efforts to develop a roadmap to manage the commons for the benefit of humanity.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Section” fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” background_color=”rgba(12,113,195,0.16)” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” custom_width_px=”1220px” parallax_2=”off” parallax_method_2=”off”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”References” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n [1] Nakicenovic N, Rockstr\u00f6m J, Gaffney O, & Zimm C (2016).
