The world's richest 10% are responsible for half of all carbon emissions, a new report found.
一项最新报告发现，全球最富裕的10%人口制造的碳排放量占了全球总量的一半。
The lifestyle choices of the richest tenth of the population mean they have on average 11 times higher carbon footprint than the poorest half of the world's population, the report by Oxfam said. The poorest half - roughly 3.5b people - is responsible only for 10% of emissions.
这份由牛津饥荒救济委员会发布的报告称，这10%的最富人口所选择的生活方式意味着他们的平均碳排放量是占全球人口一半的最贫穷人口(约35亿人)排放量的11倍。

Yet they are the most affected by natural disasters attributed to climate change, such as flooding or droughts.
这35亿人只产生碳排放的10%，但却是最容易受到洪水、干旱等气候变化引发的自然灾害影响的人群。
The report says 64% of global emissions are the result of individual consumption. Richest people buy the most goods, and consequently are responsible for more pollution.
报告称，全球64%的碳排放是个人消费造成的，最富人群购买商品最多，因此也造成更多污染。
