Welcome


We are scholars, students, researchers, and collaborating organizations working together to advance the measurement of Ecological Footprint and Biocapacity and the application of these measures around the world.

The 2023 edition will be launched on April 20 2023, featuring an expanded timeline of national and global data from 1961 to 2022 and with methodological improvements applied to all components. Please email us to attend its release webinar from 1-2PM Eastern Time (GMT-4).
