The richest 1 percent of the world’s population produced as much carbon pollution in 2019 as the 5 billion people making up the poorest two-thirds of humanity.
This allows the wealthiest people to burn through the remaining limit of carbon that can be consumed if the planet is to limit warming to 1.5°C this century, leaving little for the development of less-wealthy populations.
SEI’s Sivan Kartha will join this 4 June online panel to discuss the twin challenges of poverty and climate crisis.
