This video records a conversation between Johan Schot and Tine de Moor on the construction of commons and the role of commons in fostering social movements and collective action.
So what about this alternative form of governance that citizen collectives unveil: could their coordinating mechanisms offer a feasible alternative to our current modus operandi and contribute to a Second Deep Transition? And what would our world today look like if we were to reintroduce governance structures that function according to collectively set rules and an economic model that is based on sufficiency rather than growth?
In the following #DTdialogue, Johan Schot and Tine de Moor explore these questions further. They dive into the challenges that citizen collectives or institutions for collective action are faced with due to the values and rules of our current society and address the importance of such cooperatives and us, citizens, in tackling the climate crisis.
