The great carbon divide: On the trail of the super-polluters.

With the Cop28 climate conference due to open next week in Dubai, a major
Oxfam report has exposed how the world’s richest 1% cause more carbon
emissions than the poorest 66% combined – a good moment, it would seem, to
reflect on who exactly is responsible for the lion’s share of carbon
pollution.

Global environment editor Jonathan Watts explains why uncovering
the disparity is key to solving the crisis, while environment correspondent
Sandra Laville reveals how just 12 super-rich individuals outpollute 2.1m
homes annually (and more from the great carbon divide series can be found
here).
