内容简介：
Wealth and income are disproportionately distributed across countries and income groups resulting in carbon inequality. There are still close to one billion people living in extreme poverty (< 1.9 dollar per day). UNFCCC aims to keep warming well below 2 degrees Celsius while recognizing developing countries’ right to eradicate extreme poverty. No Poverty is also the first of the Sustainable Development Goals. In this talk, Dr. Feng will discuss the following research questions: What are the differences across countries and income groups, in terms of carbon footprints? Do we see a convergence of lifestyles and carbon footprints of rich folks across countries? What would be the carbon implications of moving hundreds of millions of people out of poverty? Dr. Feng will also discuss how are different household groups potentially impacted by the climate mitigation policies, such as carbon taxes and carbon pricing? And what are the options to make the fiscal mitigation policies pro-poor?
