Dear all I have UNDP figures from 1998 that the richest 20 percent of the world's population accounted for 86 percent of total private consumption and consumed around 58 percent of the world's energy.
Can anyone point me to good sources with more uptodate figures - either on these specific measures or on disproportionate resource consumption and waste production more generally.
