The commons is increasingly viewed as an alternative to private and state regulation. Green Parties and the wider green movement understand the commons in diverse ways as a means of environmental governance that helps us deal with climate change and other ecological threats. However, the commons as a self-managed institution cannot be legislated into existence. This article discusses the extent to which Green Parties can promote the commons, and is dedicated to the late Vincent Ostrom. Vincent Ostrom was concerned with how alternative property rights could promote environmental sustainability from the 1950s onwards. This article will examine how his work can be used to advance green politics and the pursuit of a republican commons.
