# [WEBINAR | Basic Income and Climate Change](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/library/webinar-basic-income-and-climate-change)

 Written by [Vibrant Communities](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/library/author/vibrant-communities-canada) | November 12, 2021

Basic Income has been long positioned as a means to reduce poverty and improve equality, but it is also a promising strategy for helping Canadians manage increasingly frequent extreme weather events caused by climate change. Moreover, it is also considered viable for helping communities transition to a new carbon economy while supporting marginalized populations to thrive.

Join poverty reduction and environmental advocates to explore the ways in which Basic Income can be a tool for both environmental and social progress.

Speakers: Mitchell Beer, Dr. Jim Mulvale, Janet Patterfung, and Scott Santens

Moderator: Natasha Pei
