The richest 10% of people in the world are responsible for around 50% of global emissions

Did you know that the poorest half of our global population are responsible for only around 10% of global emissions yet live overwhelmingly in the countries most vulnerable to climate change – whilst the richest 10% of people in the world are responsible for around 50% of global emissions? Really take that in. The richest people are responsible for half. We will get into companies soon but suffice to say there are just a few companies responsible for a major share of our emissions too.
