Respuesta :
The increased consumption is described by the IPAT equation.
The IPAT Equation: I = P x A x T
The equation maintains that impacts on ecosystems (I) are a product of the human population's population size (P), affluence (A), and technology (T).
This equation was developed in 1971 by biologist Paul Ehrlich and environmental scientist John Holdren, and you may notice that it is very similar to the concept of carrying capacity presented earlier in this module. It's elegant in its simplicity, and it's compelling because it tells such an easy story.
According to the IPAT identity, environmental impacts (e.g., emissions) are the product of population size times affluence (income per capita, i.e. GDP divided by population) times the level of technology deployed (emissions per unit of income).
