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.

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!

Breaking down #CapAndShare! Part 3⃣ - The Fund:

✅ A democratically operated Global Commons Fund (GCF) with money raised from the charge
