Earth Overshoot Day 2024 Global. For 100 days, from earth overshoot day 2021 to cop 26, we showcased many ways we can use existing technology to displace business as usual practices we can no longer afford. Earth overshoot day is the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what earth can regenerate in that same year.
The organisation says that achieving a 43 per cent cut in global emissions by the end of the decade would require overshoot day to be pushed back by 19 days every year. Earth overshoot day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what earth can regenerate in that year.
