Country Overshoot Days: Tracking Resource Consumption
Annual Publication and Significance
Country Overshoot Days, the dates on which national resource consumption exceeds the planet's capacity to regenerate, are published on January 1st of each year. These dates provide insights into the sustainability of each country's resource usage. By tracking these days, we can identify areas for improvement and strive towards a sustainable future.Calculation and Implications
Overshoot Days are calculated using the National Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts, which measure a country's consumption of natural resources, including food, water, and energy, and compares it to its biocapacity, or the planet's ability to regenerate those resources. When consumption exceeds biocapacity, the country is in an ecological overshoot situation.Notable Events and Announcements
Throughout the year, organizations like Earth Overshoot Day and the Global Footprint Network mark important milestones related to resource consumption. These events include:- Earth Overshoot Day Launch Event (July 2023)
