Mathis Wackernagel is a Swiss-born sustainability advocate focused on developing and promoting metrics for ecological sustainability. As President of the Global Footprint Network, he co-created the ecological footprint concept and its methodology with Professor William Rees. Wackernagel emphasizes the urgency of the issue, stating that "overshoot will ultimately liquidate the planet's ecological assets." His work provides crucial tools for understanding and addressing global environmental challenges.
Ecological overshoot is shaping the 21st century. In Ecological Footprint , Mathis Wackernagel advises us to run our economies on regeneration, rather than by liquidating the planet. He explains the key tool for the job - Footprint and biocapacity accounting - and how it applies to companies, cities, and countries.
An excellent handbook for community activists, planners, teachers, students and policy makers.
