environnement
Globally, resource-related climate change impacts ***associated with consumption*** are converging, with high-impact regions lowering their per capita impacts as low-impact regions were increasing theirs.
The per capita impacts show that some regions consistently cause above average impacts through consumption while other regions – particularly Africa – have only minor per capita consumption-related environmental impacts.
Climate change impacts have been increasing, due to private consumption in most regions, though strongly driven by the buildup of infrastructure in the Asia and the Pacific region.
La tournure de cette phrase me pose des difficultés. Je comprends que les impacts du changement climatique lié aux ressources convergent avec ceux liés à la consommation. Ça me paraît logique, mais j'aimerais avoir votre avis.
Merci

: Agree with "liés à", not "causés par". There is a very important difference between association and causation!

Hello and hope you are doing well.
I agree with your approach.
It seems to me that the convergence is taking place 'globally' — it goes on to talk about the 'rapprochement' of high-impact and low-impact regions, and I think this is the 'convergence' they are talking about.
"Globally, resource-related (i.e. which are associated with consumption) climate change impacts are converging..."
might make it easier to follow.
