🍽️ Climate action starts on your plate. Join the #FoodOdyssey and turn climate anxiety into solutions for a smarter, fairer, more sustainable food future.

Today is #EarthOvershootDay. Falling on July 24th means that humanity is currently using nature 1.8 times faster than Earths ecosystems can regenerate. #OvershootDay

Join us for a powerful conversation with Dr. David Lin, @footprintnetwork.bsky.social, as we explore what it means to live beyond our planet’s means and what it will take to bring humanity back into ecological balance. #EarthOvershootDay populationconnection-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Join us today 4 a discussion in preparation of #EarthOvershootDay 2025. 👇 www.clubofrome.org/events/eod20... By this Thursday, 24 July, humanity will have used more from nature than Earth can regenerate in a year. That means we’re living as if we had 1.8 planets & pushing well past nature’s limits.

In ten days, we are in #overshoot. We will have used up nature’s entire annual budget of ecological resources and services. #EarthOvershootDay

In recognition of #WorldPopulationDay, we’re taking a closer look at one of the key solutions in our Power of Possibility resource: population. Is it okay to talk about population? We think it’s essential to #EndOvershoot. studio.youtube.com/video/WBdJ4Q...

Our founder, met today with Vice President Carolina Cosse, who is currently serving as acting president in the absence of President Orsi (Uruguay). Their discussion focused on the growing importance of biocapacity in a predictable future shaped by climate change and increasing resource constraints.

Today’s #PopulationVoices post features four passionate advocates from Latin America and South Asia, each bringing their own lens to the population and sustainability conversation. 🧵 www.overshootday.org/jayani-and-s...

Also from the U.S., Anne and Paul Ehrlich - pioneers in bringing population issues into the environmental spotlight. “Our global population is already well above what is sustainable in even the medium term, as Earth Overshoot Day makes perfectly clear. 🧵 #WorldPopulationDay #PopulationVoices

Happy July 4th to our friends in the USA, where today’s #PopulationVoices spotlight comes from. Genevieve Tarino challenges the notion that talking about population is “anti-human”: “I’d say that it is anti-human not to discuss population.

“The key for me is to understand the problem as one of resource security: how much do we have in our country and how much do we spend? This is what we refer to as #biocapacity.” #EarthOvershootDay www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/la-...

#PopulationVoices features Phil Fulton whose quote underscores how sidestepping the population conversation isn’t just damaging to sustainability it carries real economic consequences. Link to full piece in comments. #WorldPopulationDay #EarthOvershootDay overshootday.org/phil-fulton-...

"But what happens when all countries start to raise their life expectancies, GDPs, and technological advancements? What happens when those now in poverty rise, and everybody around the world starts to reach material levels many enjoy now? 🧵 #worldpopulationday

"I believe in a bottom-up strategy that integrates education and women empowerment instead of reactionary one-child policies. The ignorant idea that women´s purpose in society is to reproduce and give birth has caused too much suffering already & should be contested globally. 🧵👇 #WorldPopulationDay

The next #PopulationVoices spotlight is on Florence, a passionate advocate who campaigns and communicates about the interconnectedness of population, health, and the environment.⁣ ⁣ #WorldPopulationDay

“How can we help people to make the best decisions and do what is best for them, society, and the planet?” - Sérgio Ribeiro⁣ ⁣ Today’s #WorldPopulationDay #PopulationVoices spotlight is on Sérgio, who says sustainability is synonymous with “care”. ⁣ 🧵👇 www.overshootday.org/sergio-ribei... ⁣

Starting on July 1, we’re sharing powerful stories from people across the globe who are making population a key part of the sustainability conversation. Join us from July 1–11 for #PopulationVoices, culminating on #WorldPopulationDay 👇 overshoot.footprintnetwork.org/solutions/po...

In June, more countries reached their Overshoot Day - when they exhausted their share of Earth’s resources for the year. 🇭🇺June 2 – Hungary 🇮🇷June 13 – Iran 🇬🇪June 17 – Georgia 🇹🇷June 18 – Türkiye 🇫🇯June 24 – Fiji Where's your country? 👇 overshoot.footprintnetwork.org/newsroom/cou...

#EarthOvershootDay 2025 lands on July 24, the date when humanity will have used up nature’s entire annual budget of ecological resources and services. Every year on #WorldEnvironmentDay (June 5), we announce the date of #Overshoot. It has come eight days earlier than in 2024.

Romania reaches #OvershootDay – closing out May’s List of resource-intensive nations. May 31st, marks Romania's #Overshoot Day - the point at which the country has used up its share of Earth’s natural resources for the year, if everyone on the planet lived like the average resident in Romania.

Imagine living on credit - not financially, but ecologically. A country’s #overshootday marks the date when #EarthOvershootDay would fall if all of humanity consumed at the same level as the people in that country. This April, several countries reach this critical threshold. 👇

It's #EarthDay madness in the U.S.! Rumors swirl that the U.S. administration plans to symbolically undermine environmental NGOs and philanthropic organizations, possibly on Earth Day, mirroring its recent heavy-handed threats against Colombia www.footprintnetwork.org/2025/04/21/s...

The Ecological Footprint framework addresses #climatechange in a comprehensive way beyond measuring carbon emissions. It shows how they compare & compete with other human demands on our planet, such as food, fibers, timber, and land for dwellings and roads. 👇 www.footprintnetwork.org/our-work/cli...

Humanity’s escalating #ecologicalovershoot — demanding over 70% more from nature than ecosystems can regenerate—has led to climate disruption, # biodiversity loss, and resource depletion, undermining global stability. Global Footprint Network's approach? 👇 www.footprintnetwork.org/2025/02/01/o...

If you thought the U.S. reaching overshoot on March 13 was alarming, eight more countries have since joined the ranks of top overshooters. Leading the list is Oman, followed by the UAE, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Belgium, Lithuania, and Austria. #movethedate

Today the University of Siena will award Mathis Wackernagel, our founder, with an honorary degree in ecotoxicology and sustainability. As part of the ceremony, he will deliver a *lectio magistralis* (a formal lecture). “How predictable is our future?” Tune in here. ⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMk3...

If the whole world consumed natural resources at the level of the average American, #EarthOvershootDay would fall on March 13 - today. In other words, we'd need 5 Earths to meet everyone's resource demands without destroying nature. How embarrassing for a country that claims to be a world leader.

🌍 Hello, Bluesky! We’re Global Footprint Network. We track humanity’s demand on nature versus what Earth can regenerate. You might know us from #EarthOvershootDay — the date when we’ve used up nature’s budget for the year. Spoiler: It’s always way too early. www.footprintnetwork.org
