The book also explores the way the current geopolitics of the world is contributing to the resolution of the conservation problem associated with global commons.
This book investigates the evolution and management of global commons in the context of contemporary environmental crises and shifting geopolitical landscapes. Prof. A. Damodaran utilizes his academic background to analyze how international frameworks address climate change, biodiversity loss, and transboundary waste. The text argues that modern technological advancements, such as blockchain, and global health events like the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitate a re-evaluation of how the world community governs shared resources.
