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!

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

4/ Conservation should never be a burden. It should be an opportunity for communities to thrive with nature. 🌿

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
