Abstract In recent years, there has been growing interest in defining what exactly constitutes “decent living standards” (DLS)—the material underpinnings of human well-being. We assess the gaps providing decent health, shelter, nutrition, socialization, and mobility within countries, across world. Our results show that more people are deprived DLS than income-poor, even when numbers measured against medium income poverty thresholds. estimate cumulative energy needs for building out new infrastructure to support provision all by 2040 be about 290 EJ, which amounts less three-quarters current annual global demand, at final level. The requirements population after is estimated 156 EJ yr −1 . Present average demand levels most countries exceed hypothetical needs. Nevertheless, required rate increase provide coming two decades would unprecedented many countries. Greater attention equity significantly reduce need growth. per capita requirement different meet same varies up a factor four due differences climate, urbanization, diets, transport infrastructure. Transport dominates worldwide, while housing dominate upfront investment This study supports claim eradication does not, itself, pose threat mitigating climate change scale. Distinguishing affluence from could basis equitable access sustainable development terms.

We elabor...
