The National Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts (NFAs) provide comprehensive data on humanity’s demand on nature and nature’s capacity to meet that demand for more than 200 countries, territories, and regions, using 15,000 data points per country per year since 1961. Interact and download the NFAs on our new Ecological Footprint Explorer open data platform.
Use our mobile-friendly calculator (available in eight languages) to measure your Ecological Footprint, determine your personal Earth Overshoot Day, and learn about solutions so we can all tread more lightly on the Earth.
Is your country an ecological debtor or creditor? When did your country’s ecological budget go into the red? Our interactive map shows the per-person Ecological Footprint and biocapacity of nearly 200 countries since 1961.
Read our case studies to learn how the Ecological Footprint has been used by policy makers and political leaders at the city, regional, and national levels to better manage their natural capital and build a more resilient future for their citizens.
Our reports feature deeper investigations into the resource constraints of specific cities, regions, and countries to shape sustainability policies, manage risks, and create a prosperous future. Recent reports focus on the French Overshoot Day, Korea, Guizhou Province (China), and the Mediterranean Region.
