Recommendations for international cooperation based on a review of global assessment reports and project experience” and was created as part of the project “Transformative change for the protection of global commons”. The short version titled “Es geht um unsere Lebensgrundlage: Wie wir jetzt handeln können, um die globalen Gemeingüter Biodiversität, Wälder und Meere für eine lebenswerte Zukunft zu erhalten“ concludes with options for action for the three central transformation levers
