Strategic Goals & Levers
The external goals of the commons, conditions for the commons to thrive. What we have been working on for the People Sustainability Treaty. Quite relevant to specific worldviews...
Background

We have focused on the dynamic interactions that help build the   social and material resiliency necessary for the development of a  thriving economic and social fabric through thriving commons, and on the  expansion of cooperation and learning at wider levels and scales. We  look at how the commons movement can bring balance and cooperation   between government, market and commons sectors.  We examine ways to  break the patterns of the current cconomy that are devastating to the  commons, whether they are meant to be co-governed or remain ungoverned.  We  also look into what  enables an economic balance between member   communities,  ensuring rule of  common  law  and accountability   underpinned by monitoring and  evaluation systems. A  critical element   is the  establishment of a framework for these emerging processes to be   amplified in ways that can be easily shared, understood and customized   at various operational levels.

The ten essential goals for forwarding the commons approach at all levels

  • To amplify emerging change, encourage local organization for local needs, users to become producers or stewards of their own resources. Starting on the short term by testing innovative methods in  coordinated regional emergency interventions.

  • To accelerate convergence, expand cooperation at higher levels and wider scales, and foster learning and collaboration processes that enable co-creation, co-governance and conflict resolution on multiple scales, adopting subsidiarity principles to define the boundaries of the commons.

  • To protect the viability of the commons, develop a commons sector alongside the private and  public sectors, conferring rights and responsibilities to communities over resources they create or on which they depend. Embedding the commons approach in local and national sustainable strategies.

  • To replenish and grow the commons, develop circular and [re]generative economic models that ensure the conditions under which profit and growth can be viable and sustainable.

  • Use finance to grow the commons and restore the natural generative and replenishing functions of the economy, revalue future value, find KPIs that measure progress and the actual creation of common wealth and abundance.

  • Stop growing toxic and harmful practices toward the environment, health, human rights. Fight abuses of power and corruption. Establish basic responsibilities.

  • To make sense of emerging change, create assessment and reporting systems for transparency and monitoring of impacts, growth of the commons and compliance with sustainability goals and targets.

  • Create frameworks and platforms to support the transition and collaboration, make needs and solutions as well as possible partnerships visible and actionable


Integration of this work in the big picture:

These goals and levers should be simulcasted to all the worldviews and hit on all the quadrants (system, behavior, culture, psychology). Though each one probably resonate best only on a few world views.
  • Local organization for local needs: purple/red/green
  • Expanding at various levels: Amber/green/teal
  • Emergency zones: all Institutions for the commons: amber
  • Circular economy: orange
  • Use finance to grow the commons: amber/orange
  • Measuring the commons: orange, amber
