Una economía con altos costos ambientales

The world is making great efforts to achieve sustainable development with the vision of a decent standard of living for all at the lowest possible environmental cost. According to World Bank estimates, between 1981 and 2013, humanity reduced the population living in poverty from 67% to 49% and the population living in extreme poverty from 42% to 11%. However, in absolute terms, the population in poverty increased from 3 billion to more than 3.5 billion, taking into account that the world population multiplied by 1.7 between 1981 and 2013.
