In the mid-1980s, humanity began consuming more than the planet naturally had to offer and has been consuming above the necessary one-planet level ever since. Predictions for the year 2050 suggest that, if we carry on like this, we will need two planets to maintain our consumption patterns.
Currently the world average for the Ecological Footprint is 2.7 global hectares per person while the available biocapacity for each human being is only 1.8 global hectares.
MOBILISATION ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT The average Ecological Footprint of an inhabitant of Campo Grande inhabitant is 3.14 global hectares. If everyone in the world were to consume as Campo Grande dwellers do, almost two planets would be needed to keep up their style of living. The Brazilian Ecological Footprint is 2.9 global hectares per person, showing that the Brazilian’s average consumption of ecological resources is close to the global Ecological Footprint value.
