The IPAT model provides information pertaining to Influence, Population, Affluence, and Technology. In doing this, this model provides information on how humans impact the environment and ecosystems that surround us. Countries with higher populations are the countries with the most negative impact. Whereas, wealthier countries have a larger carbon footprint than other developing countries this is considered the affluence aspect. The only way to succeed in improving this is to somehow sway the factors of Population, Affluence, and Technology.This is what brings about controversy amongst the population such as overpopulation should the government take away people's right to reproduce? Which is not a feasible option in my opinion if anything
