The idea behind this comes from the intro to Ostrom's Governing the Commons. She points out that the Tragedy of the Commons happens when actors can be modeled as prisoners with no coordination. By increasing communication, we can create opportunities to shift away from the tragedy. Today, the climate crisis is very much a grand Tragedy of the Commons problem. A solution would be to build a (bottom up) coordinated carbon budget, and a community like described could be a low effort first step towards that.
