This ecological deficit is maintained by liquidating stocks of ecological resources and accumulating waste, primarily carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The date is calculated by the Global Footprint Network by dividing the planet’s biocapacity by humanity’s Ecological Footprint and multiplying by 365 days. It is announced annually on World Environment Day, June 5.
