In 2023, Earth Overshoot Day lands on Aug. 2. We maintain this deficit by liquidating stocks of ecological resources and accumulating waste, primarily carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Earth Overshoot Day is hosted and calculated by Global Footprint Network, an international research organization that provides decision-makers with a menu of tools to help the human economy operate within Earth’s ecological limits.
If everyone lived like Americans, Canadians and UAEs, Overshoot Day occurred last March 13. Jamaicans Overshoot Day is just 1ll days short of parity, Dec. 20.
For all of humanity, if tonight we could shut everything down and go into suspended animation (hibernate) until New Years, humanity could come back into harmony with our Planet A.
