Information

IFPRI is participating in the XVII Biennial IASC conference, “In Defense of the Commons: Challenges, Innovation, and Action.  The conference will bring together experiences and lessons from around the world to reflect on the multiple ways in which different actors have sought to maintain and defend the commons, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by the commons in the 21st century.

Held in South America, a region characterized by its high biodiversity (in the Andes, the Amazon, and the Coastal/Oceans areas), highly diverse and stratified populations (in ethnic, cultural, racial, and class terms), and a marked tendency for ‘extractive’ development logics coexisting with multiple forms of indigenous and afro-descendant governance of their territories, the conference will pay attention to the role of collective action in shaping how the commons are created, maintained, and recovered.

Ruth Meinzen-Dick received the 2019 Elinor Ostrom Award on Collective Governance of the Commons at the Conference acknowledging her scholarship, research, and work with the commons, communities, and pro-commons policies.
