Organizer
WWF International and The Global Footprint Network
Date and Time
29 November 2005 13:15 - 14:45
Overview of the Ecological Footprint. We will explain how the Ecological Footprint attempts to answer one central conservation question: ‘how much of the regenerative capacity of the biosphere is occupied by human activities.’ We will show how Footprint accounts simply compare people’s demand on resources with nature’s ability to renew them.
