Since its inception, the Earth Commission has provided the scientific foundation for the Global Commons Alliance – a coalition of scientists, philanthropists, civil society groups, and others that work to protect the global commons. To tackle the current challenges and threats to our common life support systems the GCA is now growing – to become a stronger and more diverse alliance. Organizations interested in joining, partnering, or supporting the GCA’s work can find more information and apply here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZK7Eewp We are looking forward to collaborating with old and new members of the GCA, for a #SafeAndJust future.
