Report: emissions of richest 1% incompatible with Paris deal

LONDON - A report on Friday found the carbon footprint of the richest one percent of the population is 30 times bigger than the level compatible with the Paris Agreement 1.5-degrees goal.

They are set to account for 16 percent of global emissions by 2030.

"The emissions from a single billionaire space flight would exceed the lifetime emissions of someone in the poorest billion people on Earth," said Nafkote Dabi from Oxfam.
