Notes on the calculation & concept of humanities Ecological Footprint
Our Ecological Footprint is calculated by dividing the total biologically productive surface area of the planet by the current population.
Our budget for sustainable living is calculated as 1.8 hectares per person (some of which we may want to share with other species).
The world average Ecological Footprint is 2.2 global hectares per person.
Humanity’s Ecological Footprint exceeds the Earth’s biocapacity by over 20 percent (2.2 / 1.8 = 1.2)
