The National Footprint Accounts are a comprehensive ecological accounting system that calculates the Ecological Footprint and biocapacity of the world and 200 nations from 1961 through the present. National Footprint accounts are updated annually based on the latest complete data sets available, which usually entails a time lag of about three years. This system has grown significantly since the earliest calculations more than ten years ago, and results are now in use by practitioners and educators throughout the world.
