[Lance Olsen]

The poorest half of the world population is responsible for “only around 10% of total global emissions attributed to individual consumption.”

That leaves the rest of us responsible for about 90% of consumption-driven emissions.

"The big challenge is still to deliver emissions reductions at the pace and scale needed, especially in a world where economies are driven by consumption.”
