Carbon rebates, also known as carbon dividends, are regular payments made to households funded by carbon pricing revenue. This policy has been a win for both the environment and the Canadian people—so why has it won so little public support? By Olivier Bradley.
"Carbon dividends, and universal basic income, could provide a democratic form of populism that would stave off the move toward authoritarianism that is rising not just in America but around the world," writes Mike Sandler.
The COP29 proposal to use private investment to bolster climate finance is both unethical and impractical. Caroline Whyte suggests an alternative approach.
This side event at the COP29 focused on systems that can bring about justice and sustainability in climate policies. It was co-hosted by Feasta and the European Youth Forum, and participants included Equal Right, the European Economic and Social Committee and Oxfam International.
In the run up to the Basic Income Guarantee conference on July 23, Mike Sandler and Michael Howard exchange views on the viability, adequacy and equity of per-capita carbon dividends.
