So far, #COP29 has shown us that countries are still convinced the same flawed market logic that destroys the environment can solve this crisis.
It can't - we need real solutions that trust people & transfer wealth directly to communities. We need a UBI for climate justice.

At an official side event today, together with our friends at Cool Earth & GiveDirectly we discussed our plans to collaborate and grow our work on a Basic Income for Conservation, ensuring unconditional cash can be scaled up as a real solution for climate justice!

3 books, 5 edited volumes, 5 special issues, 100 articles/chapters, a 1.3 million euro grant and excellent teaching evaluations apparently not enough to make full professor at 'Harvard on the Rhine'. Maybe time to rethink my life choices...

Pilot conservation basic income project in Peru showing promising positive results (though not evaluated yet). Unconditional direct cash transfers could be gamechanging for how conservation is done. Looking forward to panel on CBI that @anthfletch is co-org in Oct.
