I = P A T

The environmental impact (I) equals the population (P) times the affluence (A) times the technology (T) used to acquire it.

Population is a multiplier. One-tenth of the population means you have reduced the impact, whatever it is, by nine-tenths.

Similarly we can reduce our affluence or change our technologies to have lower impacts and thus reduce climate change.
