This is the report of the Global Footprint Network (GFN), which measures the demand for and supply of natural resources and services ecological for humanity.
The turning point came every year a few days earlier – The Day of Overheating last year fell on August 2, reported portal 20minutess.fr
The whole process of Is accelerated due to excessive consumption and waste. Valérie Gramond of WWF, which is a partner organization of GFN.
In his statement, Gramond pointed out, for example, that according to surveys, only one-third of food ends in garbage cans. She also warned that "the possibility of regeneration of the planet is undermined" and, for example, exposed the situation of fish stocks
According to Gramond, l & # 39; humanity would need 1.7 Earth Planets to meet its needs. The ecological debt situation varies greatly depending on the landscape, said WWF's Pierre Cannet. Small countries with a small population like Qatar and Luxembourg leave an extremely strong ecological footprint, explained Cannet. He warned that if all of humanity was alive as it was, the day of the breakthrough would have reached humanity on the 9th or 19th of February.
According to the GFN, the United States live on ecological debt since March 14, Germany since May 1, France since May 5 and Britain since May 7. In countries like Morocco or Vietnam, this date is December 16th and 21st.
Le Cannet believes that the latest analysis of the ecological debt of humanity demonstrates the need to move from "alarm to action".
According to GFN, reversing the current adverse trend is possible by various measures. Among them are: how cities use and prefer so-called "green energy, the fight against waste and excessive consumption of meat, or reduction in population growth
The Institute uses data from the UN from thousands of human activities, including fishing, forestry, transportation and energy, for its investigation.
This year's breakthrough day comes first at the beginning 1970s when he started to lie down The first time was in 1970 when he fell on December 29th – Earth had a resource deficit for only two days In the years to come, he came back at earlier dates – December 19 (1987), December 7 (1990), November 21 (1995), November 1 (2000), October 20 (2005), October 26, September 23, 2008, September 25, 2009, August 21, 2010, August 27, 2011, August 22, 2012, August 20, 2014, August 19, 2014 August 13 (2015), August 8 (2016) and 2 August (2017).
