In simpler terms, we&#8217;ve used up our planet&#8217;s annual budget of resources in just 7 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more, we spoke with Dr Mathis Wackernagel, co-founder, and Joost Brinkman, campaigner at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintnetwork.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Footprint Network<\/a>, the international sustainability organisation responsible for calculating Earth Overshoot Day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-light-blue-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"We&#039;ve Already Used Our Planet&#039;s Resources by 1 August!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dnYNYoBExVE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global Footprint Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Earth Overshoot Day falling on August 1<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;signifies that humanity is currently using nature 1.7 times faster than our planet\u2019s ecosystems can regenerate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wackernagel.info\/overshoot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overshoot<\/a>&nbsp;is possible because people can harvest more than is being renewed, thereby depleting natural capital. Such overuse compromises resource security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consequences of ecological overspending are evident in deforestation, soil erosion, <a href=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/biodiversity\/\">biodiversity loss<\/a>, and the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which leads to more frequent extreme weather events and reduced food production.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"758\" src=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/earth-overshoot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/earth-overshoot.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/earth-overshoot-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/earth-overshoot-768x569.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-popmat-share\"><a class=\"fb-share\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpopulationmatters.org%2Fnews%2F2024%2F07%2Fplanets-annual-budget-of-resources-used-up-in-just-7-months%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><div><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 32H48A48 48 0 0 0 0 80v352a48 48 0 0 0 48 48h137.25V327.69h-63V256h63v-54.64c0-62.15 37-96.48 93.67-96.48 27.14 0 55.52 4.84 55.52 4.84v61h-31.27c-30.81 0-40.42 19.12-40.42 38.73V256h68.78l-11 71.69h-57.78V480H400a48 48 0 0 0 48-48V80a48 48 0 0 0-48-48z\"><\/path><\/svg> Share<\/div><\/a><a class=\"tw-share\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpopulationmatters.org%2Fnews%2F2024%2F07%2Fplanets-annual-budget-of-resources-used-up-in-just-7-months%2F&amp;text=Planet's%20annual%20budget%20of%20resources%20used%20up%20in%20just%207%20months\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><div><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M459.37 151.716c.325 4.548.325 9.097.325 13.645 0 138.72-105.583 298.558-298.558 298.558-59.452 0-114.68-17.219-161.137-47.106 8.447.974 16.568 1.299 25.34 1.299 49.055 0 94.213-16.568 130.274-44.832-46.132-.975-84.792-31.188-98.112-72.772 6.498.974 12.995 1.624 19.818 1.624 9.421 0 18.843-1.3 27.614-3.573-48.081-9.747-84.143-51.98-84.143-102.985v-1.299c13.969 7.797 30.214 12.67 47.431 13.319-28.264-18.843-46.781-51.005-46.781-87.391 0-19.492 5.197-37.36 14.294-52.954 51.655 63.675 129.3 105.258 216.365 109.807-1.624-7.797-2.599-15.918-2.599-24.04 0-57.828 46.782-104.934 104.934-104.934 30.213 0 57.502 12.67 76.67 33.137 23.715-4.548 46.456-13.32 66.599-25.34-7.798 24.366-24.366 44.833-46.132 57.827 21.117-2.273 41.584-8.122 60.426-16.243-14.292 20.791-32.161 39.308-52.628 54.253z\"><\/path><\/svg> Tweet<\/div><\/a><a class=\"li-share\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpopulationmatters.org%2Fnews%2F2024%2F07%2Fplanets-annual-budget-of-resources-used-up-in-just-7-months%2F&amp;text=Planet's%20annual%20budget%20of%20resources%20used%20up%20in%20just%207%20months\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><div><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M416 32H31.9C14.3 32 0 46.5 0 64.3v383.4C0 465.5 14.3 480 31.9 480H416c17.6 0 32-14.5 32-32.3V64.3c0-17.8-14.4-32.3-32-32.3zM135.4 416H69V202.2h66.5V416zm-33.2-243c-21.3 0-38.5-17.3-38.5-38.5S80.9 96 102.2 96c21.2 0 38.5 17.3 38.5 38.5 0 21.3-17.2 38.5-38.5 38.5zm282.1 243h-66.4V312c0-24.8-.5-56.7-34.5-56.7-34.6 0-39.9 27-39.9 54.9V416h-66.4V202.2h63.7v29.2h.9c8.9-16.8 30.6-34.5 62.9-34.5 67.2 0 79.7 44.3 79.7 101.9V416z\"><\/path><\/svg> Post<\/div><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On 1 August 2024, we reach a critical milestone &#8211; Earth Overshoot Day.
