So far, #COP29 has shown us that countries are still convinced the same flawed market logic that destroys the environment can solve this crisis.

It can't - we need real solutions that trust people & transfer wealth directly to communities. We need a UBI for climate justice.

[Equal Right @EqualRightOrg]

At an official side event today, together with our friends at Cool Earth & GiveDirectly we discussed our plans to collaborate and grow our work on a Basic Income for Conservation, ensuring unconditional cash can be scaled up as a real solution for climate justice!

@ProfDavidFields @AHAkramLodhi Explains so much about what is happening right now, in the US and elsewhere. And what to do to keep it all happening a third time

Two years and another 1.65 million in research funding later and...you can now call me (full) Professor Rob! Thanks to everyone for support and encouragement in this process

[Robert Fletcher @anthfletch]

3 books, 5 edited volumes, 5 special issues, 100 articles/chapters, a 1.3 million euro grant and excellent teaching evaluations apparently not enough to make full professor at 'Harvard on the Rhine'. Maybe time to rethink my life choices...

Examining 3 years of oil finds in the Guyana-Suriname Basin, @YolandaAriadne & @anthfletch study how processes of conservation and extraction take shape in and through the aerial atmosphere, especially in the context of political ecology & deforestation. https://t.co/LVNfKSBUJ9

[Jocelyne Sze @jocelynesze]

Pilot conservation basic income project in Peru showing promising positive results (though not evaluated yet). Unconditional direct cash transfers could be gamechanging for how conservation is done. Looking forward to panel on CBI that @anthfletch is co-org in Oct.
