Much recent work in ecological economics, degrowth, climate justice,
and political ecology focuses on ‘commons’ as an emergent paradigm for sustainable
governance institutions to address or rectify ecological crisis. This paper
summarizes definitions and typologies of commons, give some examples of
commons which help to further climate justice, and discusses these ideas from an
ecofeminist perspective.his research was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, FRN IDRC and SSHRC File Agreement No. 2017-008
