Elinor Ostrom, known for her work on the Commons (or common pool resources such as meadows and pastures, communal forests, among others) was in Nepal in the first week of December 2010 on the invitation of the Government of Nepal. In coordination with The Asia Foundation which facilitated her visit, ICIMOD invited Prof. Ostrom to be its resource person in a Knowledge Forum on “Governing and Managing Forests and Other Commons in a Period of Climate Change”. The slide was presented by her on the occasion.
