Global Commons

Global commons is a term typically used to describe international, supranational, and global resource domains in which common-pool resources are found. International law identifies four global commons as follows:

  1. The High Seas
  2. The Atmosphere
  3. Antarctica
  4. Outer Space

Cyberspace may also meet the definition of a global commons.
