The country breakdown is where the arithmetic stops being abstract.
Qatar's overshoot day: February 4. Luxembourg, February 17. Singapore, February 23. The United States: March 14 — we burned through our share before the daffodils came up.
Honduras doesn't reach its day until November 27.

July 30. Today the species spent the last of what the planet makes in a year. Five months of bills left.
It landed 6 days later than 2025 — not progress. A spreadsheet moved; the footprint grew.

Global Footprint Network says the shift came almost entirely from a revised estimate of how much carbon the ocean absorbs. A spreadsheet moved. The real footprint grew. 2026 is the highest overshoot ever recorded, and it got announced like an improvement.

Today is #EarthOvershootDay. In just seven months, humanity has used up all the resources our planet can regenerate this year.
By wasting less food, eating more plant-based foods, switching to renewable energy and choosing lower-impact travel, we can #MoveTheDate 🌍
Willkommen zum heutigen Earth Overshoot Day¹ oder Erdüberlastungstag².
»An diesem Donnerstag hat die Menschheit rechnerisch bereits das jährliche Budget an biologischen und ökologischen Ressourcen (etwa Fischbestände, landwirtschaftliche Flächen, CO₂-Aufnahme) aufgebraucht, die die Erde innerhalb eines Jahres regenerieren kann.« (Susanne Götze im SPIEGEL.)

In diesem Jahr fällt der Tag sechs Tage später als im Rekordjahr 2025, aber das ist keine gute Nachricht.
Ach, und wer hauptverantwortlich ist? Das finanzstärkste 1 Prozent der Weltbevölkerung, das schon am 10. Januar sein Kontingent verbraucht hatte, wie Oxfam seinerzeit berichtete³. Seitdem saugen die Musks, Bezos, aber auch Merzs und Lindners mit ihren Privatjets und anderen Ego-Boostern die Erd-Ressourcen aus der Allmende⁴.

"Wir leben, als hätten wir 1,73 Erden.
Allerdings tragen nicht alle Länder gleich viel zum ökologischen Fußabdruck der Menschheit bei. Während viele arme Länder weniger Ressourcen verbrauchen als die Natur ihnen bereitstellen kann, ist dies bei den meisten Industrie- und Schwellenländern nicht der Fall. ... Wäre Deutschland der Maßstab, bräuchten wir 2,7 Erden. Unseren nationalen Overshoot Day haben wir deswegen schon im Mai 2026 passiert." #EarthOvershootDay 🌍👇

Il 30 luglio 2026 l'umanità esaurisce il bilancio ecologico che la Terra è in grado di produrre in dodici mesi.
Da oggi ogni risorsa che consumiamo non viene più rigenerata: la stiamo sottraendo agli anni a venire. Il Global Footprint Network calcola che stiamo prelevando dal pianeta il 73% in più di quanto riesca a rigenerare, l'equivalente di 1,73 pianeti Terra: è il livello di sovrasfruttamento più alto mai registrato nella storia di questo indicatore.
L’Earth Overshoot Day è la misura concreta di un modello economico che consuma suolo, energia e materie prime più velocemente di quanto gli ecosistemi possano ricostituirli.
Non basta chiedere alle persone di cambiare le proprie abitudini mentre continuiamo a finanziare i combustibili fossili, ad alimentare gli sprechi e a produrre beni destinati a durare sempre meno.
Serve una risposta politica europea: energie pulite, trasporto pubblico accessibile, edifici efficienti, economia circolare, tutela della biodiversità e una fiscalità capace di disincentivare lo spreco di risorse.
Il pianeta non aspetta i tempi della politica: siamo noi a dover cambiare sistema, prima che i danni agli ecosistemi diventino irreversibili.

🌍 #EarthOvershootDay #Erdüberlastungstag 🌍
Heute, am 30. Juli 2026, ist Earth Overshoot Day. Der Tag markiert den Zeitpunkt, an dem wir die natürlichen Ressourcen verbraucht haben, die die Erde innerhalb eines Jahres regenerieren kann. Ab jetzt leben wir sozusagen auf Pump!
Der Earth Overshoot Day macht deutlich: Ein nachhaltiger und bewusster Umgang mit unseren #Ressourcen ist dringend notwendig.
Was tust du, um Ressourcen zu sparen? Welche Entscheidung fällt dir leicht, welche eher schwer?

Alle Jahre wieder ist #erdueberlastungstag #EarthOvershootDay – und ich weise mal wieder darauf hin, dass die dahinterstehende Rechenmethode eindimensional, irreführend und verharmlosend ist. @riffreporter https://www.riffreporter.de/de/umwelt/mythen-realitaet-erdueberlastungstag-planetarer-grenzen
Mutter Natur ist erschöpft. 😩
Der heutige #EarthOvershootDay zeigt: Wir verbrauchen ihre jährlichen Ressourcen schneller, als sie sich erneuern können. Dabei ginge es auch anders: Mit #Wärmepumpen, #Elektromobilität und Co. Aber nur echt mit #Ökostrom! ☝️
PS: Entlastet die Mütter in eurem Leben. 💚

#EarthOvershootDay 🌍 Alternativen zur Wachstumsabhängigkeit sind nötig – und möglich! Z. B. hat Grenoble Werbung im öffentlichen Raum stark reduziert. Werbetafeln schufen Platz für Bäume, Infotafeln und kommunal betriebene Werbeflächen für Kultur und Lokalwirtschaft. Die reduzierten Werbeeinnahmen glich die Stadt durch andere Prioritäten im Haushalt aus.

"Oggi abbiamo consumato tutte le risorse che la Terra è in grado di rigenerare in un anno.
Consumiamo tutti risorse.
La differenza è che qualcuno sceglie anche di rigenerarle."

Understanding Earth Overshoot Day: A Call for Ecological Awareness
by Rosalind Dean
This year, Earth Overshoot Day falls on Thursday, July 30th. This marks the date when humanity has exhausted nature’s budget for the year. For the rest of the year, we are going into deficit, liquidating resources and accumulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We are using as many ecological resources as if we live on 1.7 Earths. We are busting our budget. This cannot go on. There is no Planet B.
This sounds dramatic, because it is dramatic. But behind the headlines is a lot of detailed work, comparing the resource demand of individuals, governments, and businesses against Earth’s capacity for biological regeneration. We have a finite amount of land, which can provide us with all sorts of biological services, but there are competing uses for it, especially:
● providing food, fibre, timber, minerals
● accommodating roads and buildings
● enabling energy production
● absorbing or neutralising economies’ waste, including CO2 from fossil fuel burning or steel production
● providing crucial biological services like fresh water and clean air.
We live on a massively overused planet. There are some who say the answer is to go into space and find another planet. My response is, if we have not learned how to manage one planet, for goodness sake, let us not risk ruining another world.
The amount we extract from the planet has two elements: how many of us there are and how much we consume in material terms. Providing all the women who want it with safe, accessible family planning helps enormously in stabilising population, and switching our priorities to non-material goods that we value, like health, education, leisure and culture, could help reduce our demands on the natural world.
Victor Moriyama / Climate Visuals https://www.climatevisuals.org/Of course we must make sure that everyone has enough material goods for a decent life, like nutritious food and a warm, secure home. But a good life also includes a meaningful way to earn our living, time with our family and friends, and a society that respects us.
There is a finding in economics called the Easterlin Paradox that shows when people get richer, they are happier for a time, and then it drops away. Probably because the people they compare themselves to are also getting richer. However, the same Mr Easterlin also found that happiness can be increased, even at quite low levels of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), by policies promoting full employment and a strong social safety net.
Governments pay a great deal of attention to economic statistics, such as GDP, but these measures do not include ecological imbalances, and they only include some of the things that make our lives feel worthwhile – the ones that are paid for. It seems that we pay a lot of attention to the things we count, so it is an urgent job to find new or additional measures of social progress. And to make sure that Governments pay attention to these broader statistics that incorporate our sense of well-being.
This is a challenge, but work is being done by the UN and others to find ways to measure things like food security, health, education, political voice, social networks and housing.
● The UN Human Development Index includes life expectancy and education as well as per capita income.
● Most countries in the UN have also adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that aim to increase well-being without eroding humanity’s long-term resilience.
● The Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll), founded in 2018, is a global collaboration of organisations, movements, and individuals working together to transform the economic system to prioritise social and ecological wellbeing over mere financial growth.
● An index of Gross National Happiness has been developed in the Kingdom of Bhutan.
● Doughnut Economics looks at the space between a social foundation, meeting 12 essential needs, and an ecological ceiling in which there are 9 planetary boundaries that cannot be safely breached.
The UK’s own Earth Overshoot Day this year fell on May 16th. Our country’s ecological footprint is the equivalent of about 2.3 Earths per year. As a country, we are about twice as rich as we were 40 years ago. Do things feel twice as good? Maybe it is time to pay more attention to those things we cannot touch but help us feel secure, engaged, effective – and part of something bigger than ourselves.
