The Commons is the flagship publication from UW–Madison’s Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. Its name nods to a foundational idea in environmental studies: shared resources and our shared responsibility to steward them. The Commons brings together stories, ideas, and voices from across UW–Madison’s environmental community to inform and inspire you to keep working toward a just and sustainable future.
