    The headline is a bit misleading. The authors give a range from 30-44%.

    Very interesting conclusions on economic growth and extreme poverty. When an economy grows, the basic necessities might become too expensive for the poorest in the country.

      The headline is a bit misleading. The authors give a range from 30-44%.

      Their abstract mentions only 30%. That would mean the authors themselves are misleading in the abstract.

      Provisioning decent living standards (DLS) for 8.5 billion people would require only 30% of current global resource and energy use
