Living Planet Report 2012
It takes 1.5 years for the
Earth to regenerate the
renewable resources that
people use, and absorb the
CO2 waste they produce, in
that same year.
BIOCAPACITY
Living within ecological
boundaries requires a global
consumption and production
pattern in balance with the
Earth’s biocapacity.
BETTER CHOICES
Biodiversity, ecosystems and
ecosystem services – our
natural capital – must be
preserved as the foundation
of well-being for all.
BIODIVERSITY
Equitable resource governance
is essential to shrink and share
our resource use.
EQUITABLE SHARING
Thank You!
