Bio

Lili Fuhr is heading the Ecology and Sustainable Development Department of the Heinrich Böll Foundation's headoffice in Berlin. Her interest in the Commons results from a recognition that a lack of participation in decisions on how we use and share our natural resources lies at the heart of the current ecological crises. In order to solve these we need to redistribute that power and give it back to those whose livelihoods depend on it.
