This track will examine the conditions that enable and challenge collective action supportive of the commons in different contexts. Proposals could explore the following issues: The nature of distinct discourses, agendas, and experiences that enable a (re)focusing of society and economy towards greater sustainability and equity. The role of non-state actors in supporting the commons and the use of global initiatives to increase their resilience. The role of ethnic community proposals for socio-environmental justice in catalyzing regional and global movements. The influence of social movements in driving institutional change in defense of the commons, particularly in relation to legal and policy reforms affecting land tenure rights, shared knowledge, territorial titling, and self-determination.
