It’s time to talk about Earth’s unsustainable population growth
Population. Consumption. A balance of both is critical to a planet marked by better human health, economic prosperity and a flourishing natural world.
Earth Overshoot recognizes that duality and works not only to bring our human numbers back into balance with nature but also to draw attention to the overconsumption of our planet's limited resources. We aspire to be champions for a sustainable, safer, less crowded and more just world.
Despite having an Earth Overshoot Day every year, Terry Spahr proposes we focus instead on the real work that must be done every day, including ending unsustainable population growth if we are to achieve a just, equitable and sustainable world.
Earth Overshoot's event will be live-streamed as part of EARTH DAY LIVE events April 22 to audiences around the world. Experts in conservation biology, gender justice and public health will discuss issues raised in the 8 Billion Angels documentary.
