Global Commons Institute Explained

The Global Commons Institute gci.org.uk was founded in the United Kingdom in 1990 by Aubrey Meyer and others to campaign for a fair way to tackle climate change.^[1]

It has in particular promoted the model of Contraction and Convergence of emissions as a means to tackle climate change which has been adopted by the UN COP on Climate Change & some international religious organisations.^[2] Many of the founders and signatories to the first statement in favour of contraction and convergence were members of the Green Party.^[3]
