WORLD BASIC INCOME
How money for all could change the world
Latest: We're hiring! Senior Campaign Manager, co-lead on climate justice
A few years ago, a new global movement was born. It takes the idea of universal basic income (UBI) and uses it to redistribute wealth from the 1% to the 99% and from the Global North to the Global South, ending extreme deprivation for people everywhere, addressing global inequality and achieving climate justice.
Worldwide basic income would be funded by charging corporations and well-off individuals for their overuse of the global commons including for pollution of our atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels. Money would be paid directly from the global fund to every adult and child worldwide. Payments would start at at least $30 per person (so $120 for a four-person household) and later increase to $200 per person and beyond, as per our latest research. A worldwide basic income at this level would transform life as we know it, beginning a long overdue process of global redistribution and ensuring we better manage the resources of our fragile planet.
World Basic Income is the first organisation in the world to actively research and campaign for this idea. Working with a fast-growing network of activists and experts from every continent, we are building a body of research and initiating a grassroots movement to push for this change.
