How does Global Footprint Network relate to what is happening right now in the world?

1. NATIONAL FOOTPRINT The Ecological Footprint is a resource accounting tool that helps countries understand their ecological balance sheet and gives them the data necessary to manage their resources and secure their future.

National governments using the Footprint are able to: Assess the value of their country’s ecological assets Monitor and manage their assets Identify the risks associated with ecological deficits Set policy that is informed by ecological reality and makes safeguarding resources a top priority Measure progress toward their goals

Per-person Ecological Footprint and biocapacity in Germany since 1961 Biocapacity per person varies each year with ecosystem management, agricultural practices (such as fertilizer use and irrigation), ecosystem degradation, and weather, and population size. Footprint per person varies with consumption amounts and production efficiency. The assessment is scored on a 1-6 scale, and is provided for the country.

2. FOOTPRINT FOR CITIES FootprintGovernment

Ecological Footprint accounts allow governments to track a city or region’s demand on natural capital give governments the ability to answer more specific questions about the distribution of these demands within their economy
