Professor Michael Howard (pictured) from the University of Maine in the U.S., joined the Brisbane BIEN 2022 Congress virtually to talk about "Basic Income, Climate Change and the Future of Work".

Prof Howard specialises in social and political philosophy and his message to the congress was clear - we must contain our consumption, particularly those of us from wealthy countries, while be willing to hand over cash to those less developed nations.

The congress, the first for couple of years because of Covid-19, was hosted by the University of Queensland.
