00:00For a development that is truly sustainable,
00:03in addition to countering the climate crisis,
00:06it is essential to preserve the natural systems
00:09from which we draw our resources.
00:11The Earth Overshoot Day,
00:13calculated by the Global Footprint Network,
00:16indicates the day of the year
00:18when humans virtually exhaust
00:20the renewable resources
00:22that the Earth is able to regenerate in a year.
00:25It was calculated for the first time in 1971
00:28and fell on December 25,
00:30so we had an ecological debt situation
00:33with the planet for a week.
00:35Since then, it has started to fall earlier.
00:38In 1990 it had already arrived on October 14.
00:41Ten years later, in 2000,
00:43it fell on September 25.
00:45In 2022, the Overshoot Day was on July 28.
00:48In 2050, according to estimates,
00:50if the trends of resource consumption
00:52will remain the same,
00:54we will need three planets
00:57We must not be catastrophists,
00:59but we must be aware
01:01that we are indebted to our planet.
01:04It is also necessary to understand
01:06that we all have the power
01:08to change things,
01:10taking on sustainable behaviors
01:12in our daily lives
01:14or in the community we live in,
01:16and also pointing the way
01:18to what is governance,
01:20so as to move the date
01:22of the Earth Overshoot Day forward.
