Report says world's richest 1% responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%

Next week, the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference gets under way in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Among the items on the agenda is climate justice. 

Ahead of the conference, The Guardian has been publishing the results of the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the causes and consequences of global climate inequality. The newspaper has been working for the past six months with Oxfam, the Stockholm Environment Institute, and other experts on an investigation into The Great Carbon Divide, which looks at “the disproportionate impact of super-rich individuals, who have been termed the “polluter elite.”
