Abstract

This article outlines the idea of a Basic Income for Nature and Climate (BINC) as a novel mechanism for funding biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation activities. This proposal responds to two important empirical developments. The first concerns growing discussions around cash transfer programs and universal basic income within international development discussions. While these are increasingly implemented or piloted, they do not usually take into account environmental issues including biodiversity conservation. The second relates to market-based instruments like payments for ecosystem services and REDD+ (reduced emissions through avoided deforestation and forest degradation). In practice, these programs have commonly failed to halt biodiversity loss and alleviate poverty. The BINC proposal aims to integrate and transcend these existing mechanisms as part of a broader program of transformative change in conservation policy and practice that foregrounds concerns for social justice and equity.
保育用现金?将基本收入支持纳入生物多样性和气候融资
本文概述了自然和气候基本收入作为资助生物多样性保护和减缓气候变化活动的新机制的想法。这一建议回应了两个重要的实证发展。第一个问题涉及国际发展讨论中围绕现金转移支付项目和普遍基本收入的讨论日益增多。虽然这些措施越来越多地得到实施或试点,但它们通常没有考虑到包括生物多样性保护在内的环境问题。第二是基于市场的工具,如生态系统服务支付和REDD+(通过避免砍伐森林和森林退化来减少排放)。实际上,这些项目通常未能阻止生物多样性的丧失和减轻贫困。BINC的提案旨在整合和超越这些现有的机制,作为更广泛的项目的一部分,在保护政策和实践中进行变革,突出对社会正义和公平的关注。
