Data and Results
Global Footprint Network’s 2010 Edition National Accounts provide comprehensive new data on humanity’s pressure on resources, how that compares across 241 countries, territories, and regions, and how it relates to the planet’s capacity to meet these demands. Released every year using internationally-approved methodology and data sources, the accounts seek to quantify the relationship between human affairs and the planet's finite resources. They are produced by Global Footprint Network on behalf of its partners and others in the world community who wish to use these results.
The 2010 Data Tables contain the Ecological Footprint and the biocapacity results for more than 100 nations, based upon data from 2007, the most recent year for which source data are available. The tables reflect the calculations from the 2010 National Footprint Accounts.
