Description
"On The Commons is creating The Great Lakes Social Charter to fundamentally change the process and metrics for decisionmaking about the Great Lakes. A social charter is a formal declaration that outlines the rights and incentives of a community – involving both local jurisdictions and the multijurisdictional environment – in the supervision and protection of a common resource. This is a new approach, which we believe is needed over the long term to maintain the health of the Great Lakes treasure and re-engage citizens in protecting this commons world treasure."
