To include the impacts from the coronavirus pandemic<\/strong> this year, Global Footprint Network<\/strong> combined the most reliable data and formed the most reasonable assumptions to assess humanity’s current resource situation.<\/p>\n

Changes in carbon emissions<\/strong>, forest harvest<\/strong>, food demand<\/strong>, and other factors that could impact global biocapacity<\/strong> or the ecological footprint<\/strong> from January 1 to Earth Overshoot Day were evaluated. The main drivers were the carbon Footprint (reduced 14.5% from 2019) and the forest product Footprint (reduced 8.4% from 2019). Check out the highlights and\/or the detailed research report explaining how the date of Earth Overshoot Day was calculated.<\/p>\n

How the date was calculated <\/strong><\/p>\n

Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year. To determine the date of Earth Overshoot Day, Global Footprint Network calculates the number of days that Earth’s biocapacity can provide for humanity’s Ecological Footprint, as explained on this page<\/a>. The methodology relies on the latest edition of the National Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts, which unavoidably presents a “time gap” with the present time due to United Nations’ reporting procedures.<\/p>\n

To address this “gap” and determine Earth Overshoot Day for the current year, Global Footprint Network establishes trendlines from the National Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts data and extends those trendlines to the present year. Where possible, more recent data from reputable sources (Global Carbon Project, etc.) are incorporated to strengthen the assessment for the “gap” years.<\/p>\n

In order to take into account the impacts from the coronavirus pandemic this year, Global Footprint Network combined the most reliable data and formed the most reasonable assumptions to assess humanity’s current resource situation. Changes in carbon emissions, forest harvest, food demand, and other factors that could impact global biocapacity or the Ecological Footprint from January 1st<\/sup> to Earth Overshoot Day 2020 were evaluated. The research team concluded to a 9.3% reduction in the global Ecological Footprint compared to the same period last year.<\/b><\/p>\n

The downloadable research report documents that the main drivers were the carbon Footprint (reduced 14.5% from 2019) and the forest product Footprint (reduced 8.4% from 2019).<\/strong> The result of all data extrapolations and analyzed factors concludes Earth Overshoot Day 2020 lands on August 22.<\/p>\n
