Thursday 28 July is Earth Overshoot Day. By that date, humanity had consumed all the earth can sustainably produce for the entire year 2022, according to calculations made by the Global Footprint Network. Every year, the date of Overshoot Day advances inexorably.
"From 1 January to 28 July, humanity has used as much from nature as the planet can renew in the entire year. That's why 28 July is Earth Overshoot Day," said Mathis Wackernagel, president of the Global Footprint Network.
