Question
What is meant by the global commons ? How are they exploited and polluted ?
Solution
Commons are those resources which are not owned by anyone but rather shared by community. There are some areas or regions of the world which are located outside the sovereign jurisdiction of any one state and therefore require common governance by the international community. These are known as global commons. These are earth’s atmosphere, Antarctica, the ocean floor and outer space.
The global commons are exploited and polluted due to technology and industrial development.
