The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He is perhaps best known for co-developing the ecological footprint concept and method of analysis with his graduate students.
- This quantitative tool estimates humanity's demand on nature, through measurable flows of energy and materials to and from ecosystems, it thus reinforces associated concepts such as ecological limits and biocapacity, and shows clearly that the human enterprise is in a state of advanced ecological overshoot.
- Rees' work has long focused on the relationship between the human enterprise and the ecosphere, sustainability, human carrying capacity, over-exploitation, ecological overshoot, and urban systems and on cognitive barriers to understanding the depth of our eco-predicament.
