- Quotation from source:
- The emissions of the richest 1 per cent of the global population account for more than twice the combined share of the poorest 50 per cent. Compliance with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement will require reducing consumption emissions to a per capita lifestyle footprint of around 2–2.5 tCO2e by 2030. This means that the richest 1 per cent would need to reduce their current emissions by at least a factor of 30, while per capita emissions of the poorest 50 per cent could increase by around three times their current levels on average (figure ES.8).

- The emissions of the richest 1% of the global population account for more than twice the combined share of the poorest 50%. Compliance with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement would require the richest 1% to reduce their current emissions by at least a factor of 30, while per-person emissions of the poorest 50% could increase by a factor of about 3.
- Calculations are based on data from Figure ES.8 from source:
- Earners category — % of population — % of Emissions — Emissions per person
- top 1% _ 1 _ 15 _ 15.00
- top 10% _ 10 _ 48 _ 4.80
- Middle 40% _ 40 _ 44 _ 1.10
- Bottom 50% _ 50 _ 7 _ 0.14
Square roots of right two columns (for calculating radius of circles):
- % of Emissions — Emissions per person
- 3.873 _ 3.873
- 6.928 _ 2.191
- 6.633 _ 1.049
- 2.646 _ 0.374
Normalized so smallest value = 1.00. These are the values literally used in the SVG code for circles' radii.
- % of Emissions — Emissions per person
- 1.464 _ 10.351
- 2.619 _ 5.855
- 2.507 _ 2.803
- 1.000 _ 1.000

Ekonomie globálního oteplováníEkonomie globálního oteplování se týká ekonomických aspektů globálního oteplování; tyto aspekty je třeba brát v úvahu při hledání opatření, kterými by vlády a politici mohli reagovat. Díky působení řady faktorů je to obtížná úloha, jak z hospodářského, tak i z politického hlediska: jedná se o dlouhodobý mezigenerační problém; přínosy a náklady jsou rozloženy nerovnoměrně v rámci jednotlivých států i mezi nimi; a je třeba zohlednit vědecká stanoviska i názory veřejnosti. .. pokračovat ve čtení
