Globally we are consuming nature’s services – using resources and creating carbon emissions – 44 per cent faster than nature can regenerate and reabsorb what we consume and the waste we produce.
In other words, it takes the Earth almost 18 months to produce the ecological services that humanity uses in one year.
The UK’s footprint has grown such that if the whole world wished to consume at the same rate it would require 3.4 planets like Earth.
