Our findings suggest that the share of US$2020-millionaires in the world population will grow from 0.7% today to 3.3% in 2050, and cause accumulated emissions of 286 Gt CO2. This is equivalent to 72% of the remaining carbon budget, and significantly reduces the chance of stabilizing climate change at 1.5 °C.

- Continued growth in emissions at the top makes a low-carbon transition less likely,
- as the acceleration of energy consumption by the wealthiest
- is likely beyond the system's capacity to decarbonize.
- To this end, we question whether policy designs such as progressive taxes targeting the high emitters will be sufficient.
