The aim of the 'Caring for Commons campaign'  is to learn how to build a common pool of resources and use them well.  What are the ways to grow the commons? How can citizens be granted open, equitable access to common resources? What’s the needed infrastructure to access the commons, and how can it be built and paid for? What’s the role of states in these areas? Perhaps even harder: how do we deal with commons that are global in nature – air, water, radio frequencies, the Internet, biodiversity – given that there is no global government?
