The Triple Bottom Line

Desperate!

This year, Earth Overshoot Day is on July 24th. Unfortunately, this date signifies a stark reality: humanity's demand for natural resources has outpaced what our planet can sustainably provide.

According to United Nations data, the very first global Earth Overshoot Day occurred on December 25, 1971. Since then, this date has crept earlier each year, reflecting a growing strain on our Earth's resources. Just last year, it fell on August 1st.

But don't lose hope! There’s still time to change this trend. It's crucial that we take immediate action to protect our planet for future generations: https://www.genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/resources/updates/earth-overshoot-day/
