Dear WEF/IPBES: Global GDP/cap rose by 75% just since 1990, not sure how this 15% consumption growth figure is derived? #consumption growth is a (the?) key driver behind these trends so it is important to list this together with #populationgrowth figures ourworldindata.org/grapher/g…

GDP per capita

This data is adjusted for inflation and for differences in the cost of living between countries.

Hi Diana, thanks again for engaging with the evidence. In the Global Assessment, GDP & the consumption of materials are viewed as connected, yet de-coupled issues w/ separate variables More complete picture of the dynamics available in SPM/sections noted: ipbes.net/sites/default/file…

Thanks, IBES, for the pointers, very useful. Still, perhaps relevant experts reading this could help us, #environmenttwitter ers, understand briefly how did consumpton expand >5 times slower than GDP? Thanks in advance ☺
