The first is that the production of the currently most exploited energy sources (fossil fuels) is concentrated under the surface of few countries, often far from the consuming countries. Therefore finding and extracting the energy source and developing ad hoc agreements between producing and consuming countries is necessary to ensure a stable and lasting provision of fossil fuels to the latter.

Qualunque organismo ha bisogno di energia per vivere. L'energia è legata a tutte le attività umane: quando pensiamo o ci muoviamo utilizziamo l'energia immagazzinata nel nostro corpo e tutti gli oggetti che ci circondano o di cui facciamo uso hanno bisogno di energia per funzionare o ne hanno avuto bisogno per essere costruiti; l'energia illumina e riscalda le nostre case, ci permette di spostarci, alimenta gli strumenti con i quali produciamo il cibo e così via.

Ecological Footprint © accounting measures the demand on and supply of nature.

On the demand side, the Ecological Footprint© adds up all the biologically productive areas for which a population, a person or a product competes. It measures the ecological assets that a given population or product requires to produce the natural resources it consumes (including plant-based food and fiber products, livestock and fish products, timber and other forest products, space for urban infrastructure) and to absorb its waste, especially carbon emissions.

The Ecological Footprint © tracks the use of productive surface areas. Typically these areas are: cropland, grazing land, fishing grounds, built-up land, forest area, and carbon demand on land.

On the supply side, a city, state or nation's biocapacity represents the productivity of its ecological assets (including cropland, grazing land, forest land, fishing grounds, and built-up land). These areas, especially if left unharvested, can also serve to absorb the waste we generate, especially our carbon emissions from burning fossil fuel.

Both the Ecological Footprint and biocapacity are expressed in global hectares -globally comparable hectares with world average productivity.

Each city, state or nation's Ecological Footprint © can be compared to its biocapacity, or that of the world.

If a population's Ecological Footprint © exceeds the region's biocapacity, that region runs a biocapacity deficit. Its demand for the goods and services that its land and seas can provide-fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, wood, cotton for clothing, and carbon dioxide absorption-exceeds what the region's ecosystems can regenerate. In more popular communications, we also call this "an ecological deficit." A region in ecological deficit meets demand by importing, liquidating its own ecological assets (such as overfishing or deforestation), and/or emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. If a region's biocapacity exceeds its Ecological Footprint ©, it has a biocapacity reserve.

Conceived in 1990 by Mathis Wackernagel and William Rees at the University of British Columbia, the Ecological Footprint© launched the broader Footprint movement, including the carbon Footprint, and is now widely used by scientists, businesses, governments, individuals, and institutions working to monitor ecological resource use and advance sustainable development. The most prominent calculations are those produced for countries. We call those the National Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts. Since 2019, these accounts are owned and governed by a dedicated organization ( www.FoDaFo.org) with York University maintaining and updating those accounts.

A rich and accessible introduction to the theory and practice of the approach is available in the book Ecological Footprint: Managing Our Biocapacity Budget (2019). The European Commission provides a short summary here. Fuller methodological explanations and applications to national policy are provided in a Nature Sustainability paper (2021) and two MDPI papers, one on the national accounts method, and the other one on its implications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many planets does it take to support your lifestyle?
Try our new Footprint Calculator at www.footprintcalculator.org to find out your Ecological Footprint and personal Earth Overshoot Day and learn about solutions to help us all tread more lightly on the Earth.

Please see our Having trouble accessing our new Footprint calculator?
troubleshooting tips for more information.

Are you a student or educator using our calculator?
If so, please share your experience using the calculator by emailing media@footprintnetwork.org. We are collecting stories for a campaign for phase two of our mobile-friendly version of the calculator, which includes plans for an administrator platform for teachers.

Why are my results on your new calculator different from the previous calculator?
Our former calculator was several years old. Global Footprint Network updates its data and methodology every year. Our new calculator features our latest data and methodology and will be much easier to update each year.

The Calculator is currently available in Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. To create country-specific calculators, Global Footprint Network works with local partners to gather regional data on resource consumption. Global Footprint Network is inviting corporate, government, and NGO partners to help us add additional cities, countries and languages to our new calculator. Please Why can't I choose my country and language on your new calculator?

Some good practices

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Use of good practices

In the improved utilization of natural resources (and not only energy), research and technological innovation, national and local energy policies, and especially culture and behaviour of the population, will surely have a fundamental role. A reduction and correct management of waste, an appropriate use of electrical appliances, an intelligent management of household lighting and of heating in offices and apartments, use of public transport instead of one's own car, all these are actions that, if put to use by all of us on a daily basis, will lead to a decrease in the waste of energy, an increase in the performance of the overall energy system and especially a "saving" in terms of natural resources, the environment and also of money. Each one of us, therefore, can strive to save the present energy sources, by using innovative technologies, but also adopting small improvements in our daily life. To do one's best to realize a sustainable development however does not mean giving up what one has, but rather to avoid wasting.
