When emissions are attributed to the owners of the companies that directly cause them, the contribution of the poorer half of the world’s population falls from 10 to 3 percent compared to the consumption-based approach; by contrast, the share of the richest 10 percent in global emissions rises from 47 to 77 percent.https://www.improof.lu/app/uploads/2026/02/oil-1024x574.png1024574
