ENVS 510G - Managing the Commons

This course introduces students to approaches to managing commons resources, meaning both natural and man-made assets that are used and/or maintained by a community of users. Commons (systems of shared governance and responsibility) can and need to be adapted to successfully manage such shared resources. Examples of commons resources covered may include fisheries, forests, grazing lands, the atmosphere and other natural resources, as well as knowledge commons and tangible man-made assets.
