What Is a Common Pool Resource (CPR)

A common pool resource refers to those resources that are shared amongst a large group of people but which can be depleted if individuals of the group only selfishly pursue their own interest and misuse these resources. These resources can be affected by how each person within the group use them and overusing them will limit their availability because they are limited resources. This means people can face scarcity of these resources in the near future.
