Dati e Risultati
Questa pagina non è stata tradotta in italiano.The National Footprint Accounts (NFAs), developed by Global Footprint Network, provide comprehensive data on humanity’s demand on nature. They track how this demand compares across several over 200 countries, territories, and regions, and how it relates to the planet’s biological capacity to meet these demands. Summary graphs and maps can be found in this Summary Report.
Graphic country time trends for tracking per-person Ecological Footprint and biocapacity since 1961 are available in the “COUNTRY TRENDS” table to the right. Each country includes a link to a “country factsheet” comparing changes between the past and current editions.
The annually updated National Footprint Accounts undergo continuous improvement under the advice of the National Accounts Review Committee. The latest method is described in the Calculation Methodology Paper.
