The depletion of shared resources when individuals acting in self-interest collectively destroy the commons. IRSA's research on Pre-Governing and Regenerative Systems offers architectural solutions: designing commons governance before depletion pressures emerge, and creating regenerative feedback loops where use strengthens rather than depletes the resource.
Overfishing depletes ocean stocks. Traditional solutions: quotas and enforcement. IRSA approach: design governance architecture where individual fishing incentives align with stock regeneration—making sustainability the path of least resistance.
