Episode 3 - Reclaiming the Commons – Rethinking Ownership and Connection
In this episode of Countdown to the Climate Action Festival, Forum member Jack Santa Barbara speaks with Dr Catherine Knight, author of An Uncommon Land and one of the leading environmental historians in Aotearoa. Together, they explore the story of the commons - the traditional rights of access to land and shared resources - and how their loss through enclosure shaped modern society. Catherine shares how rediscovering the ethos of the commons could help us build a more equitable, regenerative economy and restore our sense of connection to each other and the land.
