As we approach the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement, melting ice sheets, rising seas, acidifying oceans, and a destabilized atmosphere are driving displacement, migration, and growing instability.While the Climate Crisis is now undeniably both a Human Rights and Global Security emergency, our four Global Commons — Antarctica, the Ocean, the Atmosphere, and Outer Space — remain voiceless in governance, excluded from decisions shaping our collective future. Lying beyond national jurisdictions, these interconnected Commons demand shared stewardship, as they are vital to Earth’s resilience and the future of all life.Launched by Giulia Foscari / UNA-UNLESS, Voice of Commons gives them voice — igniting collective imagination for sustainable futures and calling for urgent action in their defence, for all-kind.

UNLESS is an agency for change. It is an interdisciplinary and transnational non-profit organisation that operates at the intersection between the environment, politics, technology and the arts. Its mission is to catalyse global attention on the importance and fragility of our Global Commons, and to call to action in defence of intergenerational justice.
This mission sees UNLESS relentlessly engaged in research-based calls to action on Antarctica. Having built-up over the years a unique holistic body of research on Antarctica and catalysed a vast network of interdisciplinary experts, UNLESS develops projects in different scales and formats with the goal of creating a constituency for our only continent with no indigenous people, that is to say, with no population that can speak-up for its just governance and preservation.
