Equal Right is a global non-profit organisation working to advance human rights, equity and climate justice.
What we do
Our work starts with a bold but simple idea:
That everyone has an equal right to a share of the world’s wealth and resources…
…and this right can be best realised through Universal Basic Income - a direct, unconditional and individual cash payment to all.
We believe UBI can provide the foundation needed for enhancing human rights and protecting the planet.
Through research, advocacy and implementation, we are demonstrating the role that direct, unconditional cash can play in achieving a wide range of ecosocial outcomes.
We are also exploring the equitable, justice-informed financing mechanisms required to make it happen - like Cap and Share and a Climate Commons Fund.
Thought Leadership
We provide thought leadership and strategic expertise to organisations, networks and governments interested in necessarily ambitious solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.
Examples include our modelling of a global Cap and Share policy for climate justice, our research on basic income as a tool to advance a just transition, and our Solidarity Mutirão Initiative for South-South collaboration on equitable climate finance
Build Movements
We build networks of people and communities committed to advancing human rights, equity and climate justice, and grow their capacity to work in partnership with governments and institutions to achieve these goals.
Examples include the Malawi Cap and Share Task Force and the Cash for Conservation Group.
Demonstrate Impact
We partner with organisations that share our values to test and demonstrate our ideas through innovative, high-impact projects.
Examples include our Basic Income for Peace with Nature pilot in Colombia and our Unconditional Cash for Climate Justice project in Tuvalu.
