The Commons and Resource Rights

Oct 30, 2011

Can a commons framework be used to protect the resource rights of local communities?   Join us for this learning call in which Maude Barlow will discuss the major campaign spearheaded by her organization to establish the Great Lakes as a public commons.  Using this campaign as a case, Maude will discuss how using the commons framework can help to protect the rights of the local communities to their resources, what has been learned from this specific campaign, and how she views the connections between a commons framework and a rights-based approach.
