Ripple Effect - Antonia Tyz Peeples

American , b. 1957 -

"We find annual damages owed by the global 10 percent to be $1.7–$5.7 trillion, equivalent to $2.3k–$7.5k per person (in 2017 US dollars)." "This surpasses international climate and biodiversity financing gaps." In other words, environmental taxes targeted at this group could help pay for the large-scale transitions needed to keep our societies safe from environmental collapse, and improve the lives of lower-income households in the process. For instance, they found that even conservative estimates for the top decile in the US and China could each cover a $675 billion gap in biodiversity protection funding by 2030. The mid-level estimates for the US's top 10 are more than enough to cover the $993 billion needed each year to meet targets set at COP30 by 2035.
