Dr Reinhard Huss from UBI Lab in Leeds joins the Sheffield Humanists to explore how a Universal Basic Income could create a fairer, greener world.

Imagine a world where everyone has the security to thrive – a Universal Basic Income (UBI) that isn't just 'free money', but a fundamental right to a stable livelihood. In the face of urgent global challenges, UBI offers an unprecedented way to transform our relationships with both the planet and each other. By funding UBI through responsible approaches – like reparations for historical injustices and fees for the commercial use of shared resources (such as air, water, and land) – we can move beyond wasteful, outdated systems and build an economy designed for future generations.

Join the Sheffield Humanists to explore how UBI could evolve from a concept to a global reality. Reinhard will discuss the work of the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) and its vision for UBI, examine creative funding sources such as wealth taxes and payments for using shared resources, and address common concerns about costs and feasibility. This conversation will challenge current ideas about our shared resources, suggesting they aren't 'free for all' but rather our 'collective wealth' – assets we should protect for future generations.

This is your chance to engage in a forward-thinking conversation about funding a brighter, more sustainable future. Discover how UBI could reshape economies, provide a secure social foundation for everyone, and help foster a more balanced relationship with nature.
