Economic Prosperity and Resilience In the New Era of Biocapacity Constraints Mathis Wackernagel, Ph.D. April 2011 – UN Dialogue on “Harmony with Nature”

Biocapacity Creditors and Biocapacity Debtors

Global Footprint = 1.5 Global Biocapacity Biocapacity Creditors and Biocapacity Debtors

The Ecological Footprint CARBON footprint

Biocapacity: How much bioproductive area is available to us? Ecological Footprint: How much bioproductive area do we demand? Accounting Framework for Ecological Services

The Basic Equation Amount per year Area = Yield Translate area from ha into global ha…

Biocapacity per person Ecological Footprint

Biocapacity per person Italy

Italy’s Biocapacity Deficit Italy’s relative GDP per capita (compared to World)

A special report on debt Re: A better way The rich world should worry about growth- promoting reforms more than short-term fiscal austerity

Ecological Creditors and Ecological Debtors in Europe Ecological Footprint and Biocapacity PER CAPITA, HU DKAT DE ES RO SE CH IT PT NL FR PO GR RU BE FI UK IR SK CZ BY RS UA

Mathis’ life (1962 – onwards) Annual deficit adds up to a global biocapacity debt

UN’s Most Moderate Scenario Mathis’ life

Preparing for resource constraints is in the most direct self-interest of cities and countries. (much more so than for individuals or companies…)

we’re working on national govs offical national gov Footprint studies (2011) WBCSD UNDP EP and EC UNEP Green Econ. SEEA (?)

Summary The planet has limits. Do you know how much biocapacity you have? and how much you use? Blindness costs lives & opportunities. Link to economic stability and competitiveness
