Citations in the corpus
- The unequal distribution of household carbon footprints in Europe and its link to sustainability (2020, background): “The top 10% of GHG emitters make up 34–45% of annual GHG emissions globally (Chancel & Piketty, 2015; Hubacek et al., 2017).”
- Quantifying the potential for climate change mitigation of consumption options (2020, background): “Income is a major driver of household carbon footprints [5, 7, 8, 23, 24], directly affecting purchasing power of households.”
- Why achieving the Paris Agreement requires reduced overall consumption and production (2018, background): “Decades of research on sustainable consumption and production systems confirm that income levels are the primary predictors of material and energy use and GHG emissions (Ayres and Voudouris 2014; Hubacek et al. 2017; Weber and Matthews 2008).”
- A review of trends and drivers of greenhouse gas emissions by sector from 1990 to 2018 (2021, background): “Regional and local contexts account for much variation, and there remains a chasm between the consumption levels of the global North and the South, the poor and the rich (Hubacek et al 2017, Oswald et al 2020, Wiedmann et al 2020).”
- Carbon footprints of 13 000 cities (2018, background): “Hubacek and colleagues (Hubacek et al 2017) estimated that the top 10% of income-earners globally drive 30% of global GHG emissions; Chancel and Pikkety (Chancel and Pikkety 2015) estimated the top decile to drive 45%, and our results (figure 4) indicate that the top decile drive between 38% and…”
