Equal Right is headed to the Global Sustainable Islands Summit 2026 in Gran Canaria next week!
If you're at #GSIS2026, connect with our Executive Director Dr Patrick Brown (patrick@equalright.org) in person.
Last week, Equal Right joined food producers, campaigners & policymakers at the Feeding Ourselves conference in Ireland.
Our ED Patrick Brown moderated a vital panel on how #BasicIncome can support food sovereignty & climate justice.
Our Executive Director Patrick Brown gave a guest lecture at @UniofBath, diving deep into global climate governance and the broken COP process.
Big thanks to Prof. Neil Howard for the invite! Let’s keep reimagining what climate leadership can look like.

100+ delegates joined us to discuss how carbon pricing in waste can work in practice.
Key takeaway:it only works if it is fair!
Under Cap and Share, polluters pay and revenues go back to people as climate dividends and adaptation support.
Climate policy must return value to people!
Equal Right was honoured to speak at the 2026 EUMANS Congress in Paris, making the case for direct, redistributive climate finance through Universal Basic Income.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate this year of bold steps and shared victories in the fight for climate justice.
Wishing you rest, renewal, and warmth this festive season. 💛🌍
When negotiations fall short, communities rise. 🌍
In our latest blog, Clara Tomé shares powerful reflections from COP30 in Belém, where people, not processes, led the most urgent calls for climate justice.

The Pacific has shown the way. Now the world needs to follow.
The Marshall Islands just launched the world’s first true national UBI — a universal dividend paid to every citizen through their sovereign wealth fund.
It’s a breakthrough for climate justice: direct, unconditional income that builds resilience and recognises historic harm.
Read our latest article featured at Global NYT, Denmark.
“Limit what destroys our climate, let the polluter pay, and share the benefits between all of us.”
The Cap and Share model offers a bold and fair way to cut emissions, and ensure everyone benefits.

Equal Right was glad to join the University of Bath & Project DEEP"s discussion on Unconditional Cash Transfers in India.
Discussions explored how unconditional cash transfers can complement existing social protection frameworks and enhance climate resilience.

Last week, at the São Paulo State Assembly (ALESP), we presented Cap&Share to Eduardo Suplicy and his team — a model that connects climate policy and basic income. 🌍
Social and climate justice can (and should) go hand in hand. Thank you to Suplicy and his team for the warm welcome!
In Kenya, Equal Right is piloting the Climate Commons Fund with Il Ngwesi Conservancy, combining cash transfers+ ecological bonuses to reward conservation.

We’ve kicked off community engagements for the Climate Commons Fund (CCF) in Il Ngwesi, Kenya.
The community sees CCF as a way to:
Lead in conservation & decision-making
Receive direct support to meet basic needs
Community-led conservation + UBI = a win for people & planet
We are honored to welcome Eduardo Suplicy — former senator and current São Paulo state representative — to our International Advisory Board.
A lifelong advocate for Basic Income and social justice, he has been a historic voice in Brazil and worldwide. 🌍✨
É uma honra receber Eduardo Suplicy — ex-senador e atual deputado estadual por SP — em nosso Conselho Consultivo Internacional.
Defensor histórico da Renda Básica e da justiça social, sua trajetória inspira o Brasil e o mundo. 🌍✨
5/ Stay tuned for more updates as we move forward.

4/ We were also honored to be joined by our partners Cool Earth & Ketty Marcelo (OMIAASEC & ONAMIAP), who shared lessons from their conservation basic income pilot in Peru. 🌍
3/ Special thanks to Rep. Alirio Uribe
for his leadership in putting basic income on the legislative agenda. 🙌
This isn’t just a pilot.
It’s a step toward a permanent policy that could deliver basic income nationwide. 💚
2/ As we prepare for the pilot’s start in 2026, we’re exploring how basic income can:
✅ Support peacebuilding
✅ Spur climate action
✅ Create a pathway to lasting change in Colombia
1/ Equal Right was in the Colombian Congress today 🇨🇴 to launch our Basic Income for Peace with Nature pilot.
The event brought together voices from politics, government, civil society, philanthropy, academia & Indigenous communities.
4/ Conservation should never be a burden. It should be an opportunity for communities to thrive with nature. 🌿
#CommunityConservation #IndigenousLeadership
3/ Unconditional cash transfers are one tool to shift power: giving families a guaranteed income so they can meet basic needs with dignity, while protecting ecosystems. 💸
2/ For too long, outside forces shaped conservation, sidelining local knowledge. But communities are the true custodians of nature — with traditions and responsibility no outside agency can replicate. 🌱
1/ Conservation must be led by the communities who live closest to the land.
On Sept 13, Equal Right met with Il Ngwesi Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya — a community-owned conservancy led by the Maasai people. 🌍 #ClimateCommonsFund
