Poverty, Affluence, and
the Environment
5 slides of notes! That’s it!
Poverty and The Environment
Exponential pop. growth leads to environmental damage
because impoverished people are focused on survival and can’t
afford to consider the needs of the environment.
 Overpopulation in Africa’s Sahel region has led to overgrazing
of semi-arid lands.
 Deforestation in the Amazon
 Destruction of bamboo forests in China
Affluence and the Environment
Poverty can lead to environmental degradation…
BUT
Wealth and resource consumption can produce even
more severe and far-reaching environmental impacts.
The Wealth Gap
• Residents of developed nations have
larger houses, more possessions, and
more money than residents of
developing nations.
• The richest 20% of the world’s
people consumes 86% of its
resources, and has > 80 times the
income of the poorest 20%.
Measuring Impact of Affluence
Our total impact (I) on the env. results from the interaction of population
(P), affluence (A) and technology (T), with an added sensitivity (S) factor
Credited to Paul Ehrlich, an ecologist (1970’s)
I = P x A x T
I= Total Impact
P= Population size
A= Affluence
T= Level of technology
Impact and P/A/T have a
proportion relationship.
Increasing just one increases
overall impact.
The IPAT model: I = P x A x T x S
Population = individuals need space and resources
Affluence = greater per capita resource use
Technology = increased exploitation of resources
Sensitivity = how sensitive an area is to human pressure
Further model refinements include education, laws, ethics
