“Lo común” refers to the expression “the commons” meaning the ”cultural and natural resources accessible to all members of a society” (please see definition on Wikipedia below). It is an expression widely used by Elinor Ostrom (1933-2012) and many other theorists of the “sustainable development” movement.

… y a la vez construir y reconstruir lo ”común”67
67. La palabra común se utiliza con diferentes sentidos en español, en francés y en inglés, por lo que a menudo puede provocar una gran confusión. ”Commons” no se puede traducir mecánicamente por ”bienes comunes”. Elinor Ostrom demostró que no había bienes comunes sin comunidad de gestión de dichos bienes. Detrás de la palabra ”commons”, existe a la vez un recurso compartido y las reglas de gobernanza de este recurso. Cuando hablamos de reconstruir lo común, claro está que no queremos decir colectivizar, significa distinguir lo que atañe al interés general de una ”comunidad”, y crear reglas de gobernanza que les correspondan.

Commons
The commons is the cultural and natural resources accessible to all members of a society, including natural materials such as air, water, and a habitable earth. These resources are held in common, not owned privately. Commons can also be understood as natural resources that groups of people (communities, user groups) manage for individual and collective benefit. Characteristically, this involves a variety of informal norms and values (social practice) employed for a governance mechanism.[1] Commons can be also defined as a social practice of governing a resource not by state or market but by a community of users that self-governs the resource through institutions that it creates

Reconstructing the Commons
Globalization has profoundly challenged the approach to natural and scientific res communes from which marine genetic resources and associated knowledge arise. The globalization of research and development (R&D) has disrupted ways and locations of knowledge and technology production, notably by means of the development of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Designed to avoid new globalization tragedies, the question of the “commons” seriously calls the absolute certainties into question, especially the triptych of the modern legal system. The notion of the commons implies a reverse revolution in contrast to that of contemporary neoliberal ideology. This is what the concepts of global public goods and common pool resources seek to present, positioning themselves as a renewal of the commons in a context of global interdependencies. The commons answer to various imperatives such as marine biodiversity protection, fair and equitable sharing of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, knowledge diffusion and technology transfer.
