International group of researchers surveyed 4,000 people from Denmark , India , Nigeria and the United States about inequality in personal carbon footprints.
They found that the carbon footprint of the richest people in society is grossly underestimated, both by the rich themselves and by those on middle and lower incomes, no matter which country they come from.
At the same time, both the rich and the poor drastically overestimate the carbon footprints of the poorest people.
People with the highest carbon footprints bear the greatest responsibility for changing their lifestyles and reducing their footprints.
The researchers say that more work is needed to determine the best ways to promote fairness and justice in climate action across countries, cultures and communities.
People from the top 10% generally found the inequality fairer than the general population, except in India .
