"Slide 8 Population growth, consumption and production patterns
It is important to highlight that it is not population levels per se that are the main cause of environmental degradation, but rather the associated consumption and production patterns. An important challenge in terms of environmental management is to find an appropriate balance in terms of inter and intra-generation equity: how to meet the basic needs of the existing population (such as food, shelter, health, education, and clothing), without unduly impacting on the capacity of future generations to meet their own needs.

As is highlighted in some of the following slides, finding this balance will require significant innovation in terms of our current production and consumption patterns."   


  Module 2: The business case for the Global Compact Environmental Principles (PDF - 305 KB)  Slide 9 The 20% of the world’s population living in the highest income countries are responsible for 86% of total private consumption compared with the poorest 20%, who account for only 1.3%.

Here's the Power Point slide show. You need power point software to view it.

The Global Compact Environmental Principles Training Package - Complete set of training modules, case studies, sources for further information and PowerPoint slides related to each of the module sessions (M2 (Module 2) Session 1: has the slide you are looking for).   

Please pass it on.  Too many people are woefully misinformed. Consequently, they are scapegoating the poor masses of the planet, to the joy of the main polluters.   


He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matt 10:37
