Developing a knowledge commons for community-led action on sustainability and climate change

Developed over several design cycles (the third, at the time of writing-up) since its initiation in 2017, the Communities for Future Knowledge Commons was initiated by the ECOLISE meta-network of European community-led initiatives, as an open-source repository of information on permaculture, Transition, ecovillages and other forms of grassroots action on sustainability, climate change and social justice. An ongoing, open-ended and collaborative initiative, it includes a wiki and document library as its main public components.
