⚠️Automatic translation pending review by an economist.
As part of our partnership with Forbes magazine, read an opinion piece by Julien Moussavi, economist at BSI Economics, on Earth Overshoot Day:
Summary: This year, Earth Overshoot Day falls on August1, two days earlier than last year and almost five months earlier than in the early 1970s. According to the non-governmental organization (NGO) Global Footprint Network, which created this indicator, Earth Overshoot Day is the date on which humanity has consumed all the resources that nature is capable of renewing in a year. Although this date has been subject to legitimate criticism from some in the scientific community, it has the merit of being educational and providing an indication of our ecological footprint. Solutions exist to reverse the global trend, and some developed countries have already begun to adopt virtuous behaviors.
