"Isn't this just welfare?" "Won't it create dependency?" "What happens when the money runs out?" We've answered the seven questions we hear most about the Climate Commons Fund. No spin. Just the model. #BasicIncome #ClimateCommonsFund #ClimateFinance

What if the best way to protect nature is to invest in the people who protect it? That's the idea behind the Climate Commons Fund: direct, unconditional cash that strengthens communities and helps nature thrive. #ClimateJustice #ClimateFinance #BasicIncome

What if climate finance kept paying long after the project ended? That is the idea behind the Climate Commons Fund. One unconditional cash transfer becomes a permanent Conservation Dividend that grows as climate finance increases and ecosystems recover. #ClimateFinance #ClimateJustice

Yesterday we shared a preview. Today we dive deeper. We explain how the Climate Commons Fund works and why this first-of-its-kind model could transform conservation finance by putting communities at its centre. We'd love to hear your questions, ideas, and biggest takeaways.

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!

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.
