Abstract

Abstract The Greens are the political group in which the support for the implementation of a basic income is stronger. Nevertheless, the reasons for that support are not always clear and quite often not related to environmental issues. For this reason, two different approaches to a green BI – environmental and ecological – are discussed in this article. The first could be part of a green growth strategy, whereas the second would require structural changes to the economic model, in support of a post-productivist economy. Although showing some overlaps, these models are in conflict in some central aspects, such as the role of economic growth in promoting sustainability. For this reason, it might be incorrect to assume that an environmental BI is a step toward an ecological BI. We will focus on the green aspects as a consequence of implementing a BI and independently of its sources of funding – namely by looking into the amount a BI needs to be in order to support shifting activities from the market to the autonomous sphere – and on the green potential of its sources of financing.

环境保护主义、生态主义和基本收入

绿党是支持实施基本收入的政治团体。然而，这种支持的理由并不总是明确的，而且往往与环境问题无关。出于这个原因，本文将讨论两种不同的绿色BI方法——环境BI和生态BI。前者可能是绿色增长战略的一部分，而后者则需要对经济模式进行结构性改革，以支持后生产力主义经济。虽然显示出一些重叠，但这些模式在一些中心方面存在冲突，例如经济增长在促进可持续性方面的作用。由于这个原因，认为环境BI是迈向生态BI的一步可能是不正确的。我们将把重点放在实施商业智能的绿色方面，以及独立于其资金来源的绿色方面——也就是说，通过研究商业智能为支持从市场到自主领域的活动所需要的数量——以及其融资来源的绿色潜力。

期刊介绍： Basic income is a universal income grant available to every citizen without means test or work requirement. Academic discussion of basic income and related policies has been growing in the fields of economics, philosophy, political science, sociology, and public policy over the last few decades — with dozens of journal articles published each year, and basic income constituting the subject of more than 30 books in the last 10 years. In addition, the political discussion of basic income has been expanding through social organizations, NGOs and other advocacy groups. Internationally, recent years have witnessed the endorsement of basic income by grassroots movements as well as government officials in developing countries such as Brazil or South-Africa. As the community of people working on this issue has been expanding all over the world, incorporating grassroots activists, high profile academics — including several Nobel Prize winners in economics — and policymakers, the amount of high quality research on this topic has increased considerably. In the light of such extensive scholarship on this topic, the need to coordinate research efforts through a journal specifically devoted to basic income and cognate policies became pressing. Basic Income Studies (BIS) is the first academic journal to focus specifically on basic income and cognate policies.
