This session seeks to bridge the gap between our research on carbon inequality and policy negotiations that currently fail to target emissions-intensive consumption. We aim to highlight the scale of carbon inequality that exists and provide an overview of the most recent data on this from the Emissions Inequality Dashboard. This website provides the emissions distribution among different income groups in over 170 countries from 1990 to 2019.
