Hello Friend,
Earth Overshoot Day indicates when humanity's demand for ecological resources exceeds what Earth can regenerate in a given year. In 2025, that date arrives eight days earlier than last year, demonstrating that we are moving further into ecological debt.
Join Population Connection for a discussion with David Lin, the Chief Science Officer at Global Footprint Network, as we consider what it means to live beyond our planet's means and what it will take to bring humanity back into ecological balance.
In his presentation, “Is Overshoot Your Burden?,” Lin will discuss how overshoot is not merely an environmental crisis but also a social, economic, and generational one. It is driven by how many of us there are, how we consume, and the systems we uphold. In the 21st century, our second-biggest threat is overshoot itself. The biggest? Failing to act.
Join our virtual event on Tuesday, July 22nd, at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT.
