Abstract We analyze the environmental implications of basic income programs through literature review, government documents, pilot studies, and interviews eliciting expert knowledge. We consider existing knowledge and then use a grounded approach to produce theory on the relationship between a basic income guarantee and environmental protection/damage. We find that very little empirical or theoretical work has been done on this relationship and that theoretical arguments can be made for both positive and negative environmental impacts. Ultimately, this implies, the environmental impact of a basic income program will be dependent on program design. These insights allow us to generate a toolkit of policy proposals to assist in the development of green basic income programs via either conditions, additions, or complements.

全民基本收入与自然环境：理论与政策

摘要 我们通过文献综述、政府文件、试点研究和获取专家知识的访谈来分析基本收入计划的环境影响。我们考虑现有知识，然后使用扎根方法来产生关于基本收入保障与环境保护/破坏之间关系的理论。我们发现关于这种关系的实证或理论工作很少，并且可以对积极和消极的环境影响进行理论论证。最终，这意味着基本收入计划对环境的影响将取决于计划设计。这些见解使我们能够生成政策建议的工具包，以通过条件、补充或补充来协助制定绿色基本收入计划。
