In 2013, the first Community Charter of UK was brought into being by communities in and around Falkirk in Scotland that were mobilising against coal bed methane extraction, a process similar to fracking. In order to protect their health, their way of life, and the future wellbeing of their children and grandchildren, they came together to list all the things they valued and wanted to protect. They also imagined what a long-term sustainable local economy would look like and what they could do to make sure the natural world around them was unharmed.
This initiative draws upon a document that was co-created by community councils, communities in and around Falkirk, Scotland in conjunction with the association known as Community Chartering in 2013. This document is a rights-based charter written mainly by communities who seek to preserve natural health, namely a clean environmental and rich ecosystem, and social health, namely a healthy local economy, trustworthy elected officials, and food security, as their surrounding lands get threatened by large energy and development projects. The initiative was originally based on protecting communities' surrounding areas from coal-bed methane extraction plans. The communities gained much support because this document served as a form of protection against unconventional gas drilling as it had many environmental guidelines and related human rights. Because of such a charter, the Scottish Government put a moratorium on conventional gas drilling in the area, a victory that can be claimed by the communities behind this charter. The charter itself is based on guidelines proposed by Environmental Impact Assessments from the UN Convention and EU directives. In addition, any time a development project proposal takes place in the area, the communities use this charter to engage in dialogue with developers, land-owners, and planning authorities.


Their words went directly into the Charter, setting out “all the things in our local area which residents have agreed are fundamental to the present and future health of our communities. These ‘assets’ include a clean environment, our children, our homes, our community stability, a rich eco-system, food security, a healthy economy and trustworthy elected representatives.” You can access the Falkirk Charter here and if you visit the website you will see that the Charter is presented as a rights-based document, drawing on an international UN convention and EU directives about Environmental Impact Assessment. The Falkirk Charter has played a key role in winning a moratorium on drilling for unconventional gas from the Scottish Government.
There are several reasons why this project is directly linked to the initiatives introduced by the Atlas of the Charter of Urban Commons project. Following the guidelines of community chartering, the communities behind the Falkirk Charter have been able to co-create this document with legal officials using legal tools to defend their rights. The dynamic of co-creation is a common theme, and it means that communities are able to influence the government officials to protect their local lands, which is something commons charters are tasked to do from the beginning. This document is also based on an environmental initiative, which a strong point when looking at charters of commons around the world. Since the land was previously threatened by unconventional gas drilling, the communities used a charter to win a moratorium. Therefore, charters can provide communities with the leverage they need to have their voices heard. It also becomes an effective document in protecting their natural health, which is a big deal in a time of climate change. Such success stories provide perfect examples of community chartering, which is a dynamic that must be reinstated in the creation of the commons.


The Charter is not a legal document but as a piece of “vernacular” or “moral” law that gathers support from signatures it is a “material consideration” in any planning process. Unlike a Neighbourhood Plan it covers the entire lived experience of the community. It is a bench mark against which any proposed planning needs to be measured, and a living document that is regularly re-visited. Its power comes from the strength of support for it in the community, and that it is held by the community. When any development is proposed, citizens can turn immediately to the Charter and enter into dialogue with developers, land owners and planning authorities. Rather than repeatedly campaigning against development that is not appropriate, communities with Charters are constructively presenting what they are for.

This charter was co-created by the Community Councils and the residents/communities of Larbert, Stenhousemuir and Torwood; Avonbridge and Standburn; Bo'ness; and Shieldhill and California with the facilitation of the association known as Community Chartering. This charter represents general initiatives that range from food food security, cultural heritage, and environmental aesthetics, which means that it covers all forms of quality-of-life among its residents. It cites, "We declare our Cultural Heritage to be the sum total of the local tangible and intangible assets we have collectively agreed to be fundamental to the health and well-being of our present and future generations. These constitute an inseparable ecological and socio-cultural fabric that sustains life, and which provides us with the solid foundations for building and celebrating our homes, families, community and legacy within a healthy, diverse, beautiful and safe natural environment." This charter has a legal status, and therefore citizens have the right and the access to use the legal tools available to pursue direct action on the initiative.

En 2013, en Écosse, les communautés de Falkirk et des environs ont mis en place une charte communautaire pour lutter contre l'extraction du méthane de houille (un procédé similaire à la fracturation hydraulique). Les habitants se sont réunis pour dresser la liste de ce qu'ils estimaient important et voulaient protéger afin de préserver leur santé, leur mode de vie et le bien-être futur de leurs enfants et petits-enfants. Ils ont également imaginé à quoi ressemblerait une économie locale viable à long terme et ce qu'ils pourraient faire pour s'assurer que le monde naturel qui les entourait soit indemne. Cette charte a été l'un des outils pour faire reconnaître les droits de la communauté et la société civile locale.
