  3. Ecological footprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_footprint

    At a global scale, footprint assessments show how big humanity's demand is compared to what Earth can renew. Global Footprint Network estimates that, as of 2022, humanity has been using natural capital 71% faster than Earth can renew it, which they describe as meaning humanity's ecological footprint corresponds to 1.71 planet Earths.

    Lighter shades denote countries with a lower ecological footprint per capita and darker shaded for countries with a higher ecological footprint per capita. The total ecological footprint (global hectares affected by humans) is measured as a total of six factors: cropland footprint, grazing footprint, forest footprint, fishing ground footprint ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by...

    With a world-average biocapacity of 1.63 global hectares (gha) per person (12.2 billion in total), this leads to a global ecological deficit of 1.1 global hectares per person (10.4 billion in total). [1] For humanity, having a footprint smaller than the planet's biocapacity is a necessary condition for sustainability.

  7. Human Footprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Footprint

    The Human Footprint increased by 9% from 1993 to 2009, at least partly attributable to a human population increase of 23% and a global economy increase of 153% during the same period. [3] Though population and economic growth far exceed the growth of the Human Footprint, the areas that saw increased human influence were those with the highest ...

  8. Biocapacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocapacity

    Biocapacity is used together with ecological footprint as a method of measuring human impact on the environment. Biocapacity and ecological footprint are tools created by the Global Footprint Network, used in sustainability studies around the world. Biocapacity is expressed in terms of global hectares per person, thus is dependent on human ...

  9. Global hectare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_hectare

    The global hectare (gha) is a measurement unit for the ecological footprint of people or activities and the biocapacity of the Earth or its regions. One global hectare is the world's annual amount of biological production for human use and human waste assimilation, per hectare of biologically productive land and fisheries.
