"safe and just space for humanity to thrive in"

1.  providing enough food for the 13% of the world's people who suffer from hunger means raising world supplies by just 1%.
2. Providing electricity to the 19% of people who currently have none would raise global carbon emissions by just 1%.
3. Bringing everyone above the global absolute poverty line ($1.25 a day) would need just 0.2% of global income.

 it is not the needs of the poor that threaten the biosphere, but the demands of the rich. Raworth points out that half the world's carbon emissions are produced by just 11% of its people, while, with grim symmetry, 50% of the world's people produce just 11% of its emissions.
