About the campaign:
We’re living in the era of extreme carbon inequality. The world's poorest people contribute little to carbon emissions but are most affected by climate impacts like floods, storms, and droughts. Young people too have done little to cause the crisis, yet are inheriting an increasingly dangerous planet.
Oxfam’s new report contains some shocking stats: now we need to get the word out far and wide.
Help fight inequality and the climate crisis at the same time by finding creative ways to communicate some or all of the following stats:
Between 1990-2015, the carbon emissions of the richest 10% were the same as the rest of the world combined
In that same period, the richest 1% were responsible for double the carbon emissions of the poorest half of humanity (3.1 billion people)
There are loads of ideas about how we can solve this starting from right now: the recovery from Covid-19 must tackle the twin climate and inequality crises. Governments can tax the richest more, introduce an added cost to luxury emissions, and invest much more in low-carbon projects. And they should use new measures of economic success that prioritize standards of living and the health of our planet, not endless economic growth.
But for now, we just need to get the message out in a way that people can understand.
