dc.description.abstractThe 20% ecological overshoot in 2002 took 20% more natural resources than the Earth could regenerate. This overshoot is considered a measure of how humankind is _eating its future. Exceeding the planet s carrying capacity will almost certainly result in societal and ecological disequilibrium that will, as a result, reduce carrying capacity.en
