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.
