The event “Our Global Commons: An International Dialogue,” will convene on 12-13 October 2016 in Washington DC, US. This meeting will be preceded by a Science Day on the 11th October to review new scientific assessments and discuss transformative solutions to rethink the global commons, and evaluate the risk and opportunities they present. Thereafter, leading environment, innovation and system design thinkers and analysts from across sectors of society will engage in strategic discussions to: assess the latest evidence on the pressures our global commons face; and discuss how best to disrupt the systems that drive these pressures.
