We busted Earth's budget!

Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity has exhausted nature’s budget for the year. For the rest of the year, we are maintaining this deficit by using up our ecological resources and accumulating waste, primarily carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

In 2018 Earth Overshoot Day landed on the 1st of August however, this year we have landed three weeks later, on August 22 due to the limited activity caused by the Covid-19 Lockdown.

In this free, online Climate Conversation, we will be talking more about Earth Overshoot Day and solutions that can #movethedate that don't happen just because of Lockdown but rather a new vision for our economy and society as a whole.

While our planet is finite, human possibilities are not. The transformation to a sustainable, carbon-neutral world will succeed if we apply humanity’s greatest strengths: foresight, innovation, and care for each other. The good news is that this transformation is not only technologically possible, it is also economically beneficial and our best chance for a prosperous future.

Our conversations are open to everyone no matter how much you already know about the Climate Crisis. We are all about learning and sharing with each other and believe everyone has something to offer in this conversation!

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.
