Vietnam consuming natural resources faster than in 2018
Vietnam will use up its ‘quota’ of annual natural resources for this year in October, two months earlier than it did last year.
This assessment is based on the Earth Overshoot Day (EOD) concept, which marks the date when humanity’s annual demand on nature exceeds what the earth’s ecosystems can regenerate that year.
This year, Vietnam’s EOD falls on October 8. A country’s overshoot day is the date on which EOD would fall if all of humanity consumed resources as the people of that country.
The EOD is calculated by the Global Footprint Network in a campaign supported by dozens of other nonprofit organizations.
