The Center for Global Commons (CGC) at the University of Tokyo Institute for Future Initiatives (IFI), in collaboration with the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy, has released a new report, “Global Commons Stewardship Index 2024 (4^th edition): Transforming Global Production and Consumption for Earth’s Safe Operating Space”.
Human activities are jeopardizing the stability and resilience of the global commons, which provide the foundation for humanity’s prosperity and future well-being. Recent research indicates that six of nine critical planetary boundaries have been crossed. The fourth edition of the Global Commons Stewardship Index (GCS Index) Report provides updated data on domestic impacts and international spillovers affecting the global commons. This report, built on the latest research and modeling tools in industrial ecology and environmental science, aims to support policymakers in safeguarding the global commons.
