If you received your monthly income five times over in one go, what would you do with it? This blog post reflects on the key questions and early insights gained from field research on Equal Right’s Climate Commons Fund project in Kenya.

Get the lowdown on the launch of Equal Right’s Climate Commons Fund, an innovative new project that combines ecological stewardship with a permanent basic income - now being piloted with Il Ngwesi Community Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya.

In this blog, our Executive Director Patrick Brown considers how a global wealth fund, capitalised with revenues from the shared value generated by AI, could fund a Universal Basic Income for all.

This blog explores Matu Mureithi’s experience preparing for the Safaricom Lewa Safari Marathon, a unique race that brings together wildlife conservation, community development, and endurance sport. It highlights how the marathon supports local communities and conservation efforts, while showcasing Equal Right’s Climate Commons Fund, which aims to ensure Indigenous communities directly benefit from protecting ecosystems.

This blog explores how rapid AI-driven automation and mass layoffs are deepening economic inequality and making Universal Basic Income (UBI) increasingly necessary as a tool for justice, stability, and shared prosperity. The piece argues that tech companies benefiting from AI should support redistribution mechanisms such as unconditional cash transfers, especially for vulnerable communities most affected by automation and climate inequality.

In this Blog, Christine Wainaina talked about how war and climate change are closely connected, with each crisis intensifying the other’s impact on societies and the environment. She also explained how Universal Basic Income could provide people with economic security and resilience during conflicts, climate disasters, and other global crises.

Our Executive Director Patrick Brown explains why and How a Universal Basic Income Can Deliver a Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels. The only way to build a durable coalition for a fossil-free world is to make sure that the people asked to support that transition are not the ones left paying for it.

In this blog, Equal Right’s LATAM Director, Carlos Pérez, examines how today’s geopolitical crises, fossil fuel dependence, and environmental limits expose deep flaws in the international system. It argues that reviving multilateralism requires governing shared resources through approaches like Cap and Share while strengthening basic economic security to support a just global transition.

In our latest blog, Clara Tomé Colomer, Equal Right's Cap and Share policy competition winner, reflects on her experience at COP30 as part of our delegation in Belém. From the disconnect inside negotiation halls to the grassroots power outside them, Clara unpacks why climate justice means putting resources, and power, directly in the hands of communities. She explores how Cap and Share and her own Fashion Commons model offer real alternatives rooted in equity and sovereignty..

In this blog, our Executive Director Patrick Brown explores how the Marshall Islands’ new Universal Basic Income offers a powerful blueprint for climate justice in the South Pacific. He unpacks why UBI matters in a region facing existential climate threats, how sovereign wealth funds and commons-based financing can transform adaptation, and what a Pacific-led model of direct, unconditional climate finance could mean for COP31 and beyond.

In this blog, Matu Mureithi, Project Coordinator for our Climate Commons Fund in Kenya, shares his reflections from engagement with Il Ngwesi community conservancy - including the role that Cash for Conservation could have in enhancing environmental outcomes.
