Abstract: This paper explores the ?Free Destroyer Problem?, which poses a threat to global public goods. The term free destroyer can be defined as someone who harms or destroys something that is good for everyone but requires everyone's cooperation to provide or protect. We provide six concrete examples of the ?Free Destroyer Problem?, including a case study based on the Covid-19 pandemic. We propose engaging diverse stakeholders, developing a robust and inclusive global governance structure, and establishing innovative financing mechanisms. The provision and preservation of global public goods demands urgent collective action to mitigate potential catastrophic consequences. JEL classification: D62, H87, I18, O30, Q54.
