SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS

Measuring Carbon Footprints

If you’re one of the world’s 700 million richest peo-

ple, you’re probably a “high emitter” living a “carbon-

intensive” lifestyle (at least statistically speaking). In

plain

English,


because

your


lifestyle

probably


includes air travel, the use of a car, and a house to

heat and cool, you’re probably responsible for releas-

ing more than your share of carbon dioxide CO

into the Earth’s atmosphere. “We estimate that …



half the world’s emissions come from just 700 mil-

lion people,” explains Shoibal Chakravarty, lead

author of a recent study conducted by researchers

at Princeton University. “It’s mischievous,” admits

coauthor Robert Socolow, “but it’s meant to be a

logjam-breaking concept,” and the proposals for cut-

ting CO

2

emissions offered by the Princeton team



have been widely praised for the fairness that they

inject into a debate that’s been stalemated for nearly

20 years.

The research team’s report lists six coauthors.

Shoibal Chakravarty, a physicist specializing in CO

2

emissions, is a research associate at the Princeton



Environmental Institute (PEI), an interdisciplinary

center for environmental research and education.

Also associated with PEI is Massimo Tavoni, an

economist who studies international policies on cli-

mate change. Stephen Pacala, who’s the director of

PEI, is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biol-

ogy who focuses on the interactions of climate and

the global biosphere. Robert Socolow, a professor of

mechanical and aerospace engineering, studies

global carbon management. Ananth Chikkatur, of

Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International

Affairs, is a physicist who specializes in energy policy

and technology innovation. Heleen de Coninck, a

chemist, works on international climate policy and

technology at the Energy Research Centre of the

Netherlands.

Needless to say, the carbon footprint team was a

diverse group in terms of academic discipline (not to

mention nationality). Its innovative approach to the

problem of CO

2

emissions—one which shows that



it’s possible to cut emissions and reduce poverty at

the same time—resulted from an approach to high-

level scientific problem solving that’s typically called

The carbon footprint team is a diverse group of scientists working together to learn more

about sustainability. More and more often, important scientific discoveries are being made

by teams rather than by individuals working alone.
