  1. Can Italy Succeed in the New Era of Biocapacity Constraints?Dr. Mathis Wackernagel April 8, 2011 – Agende 21 Locali Italiane

  2. Biocapacity Creditors and Biocapacity Debtors

  3. Biocapacity Creditors and Biocapacity Debtors

  4. Biocapacity Creditors and Biocapacity Debtors Global Footprint --------------------------- = 1.5 Global Biocapacity

  5. Accounting Framework for Ecological Services Biocapacity:How much bioproductive area isavailable to us? Ecological Footprint:How much bioproductive area do wedemand?

  6. The Ecological Footprint CARBON footprint

  7. Biocapacity per person Ecological Footprint

  8. The Basic Equation Amount per year Yield = ------------------------- Area

  9. The Basic Equation Amount per year Area = ------------------------- Yield Translate area from ha into global ha…

  10. Components of the Footprint Forest Cropland Grazing Land Carbon Footprint Fishing Grounds Built Area

  11. Humanity’s Ecological Footprint (1961 onwards)

  12. Most of the carbon debate communicates about “global Tragedy of the commons“ • Is this a useful perspective?

  13. X 350 ppm? EITHER: ~ 2°C 450 ppm? Tragedy of the Commons? Yes, but… OR: 1700 ppm

  14. Italy Ecological Footprint Biocapacity per person

  15. Italy’s relative GDP per capita (compared to World) Italy’s Ecological Deficit

  16. Ecological Footprint per person Deficit Biocapacity per person 2007 ITALY

  19. Preparing for resource constraints is in overwhelming self-interest of cities and countries. (much more so than for individuals or companies…) mathis@footprintnetwork.org

  20. Iran Uganda Biocapacity per person Ecological Footprint Biocapacity per person Ecological Footprint Switzerland Ecological Footprint The Ecological Footprint and biocapacity (per capita) of three countries from 1961-2005. A country runs an if its Footprint exceeds what its ecosystems can renew. The deficit is made up through net-imports, net-carbon emissions to the global atmosphere, or local resource degradation. ecological deficit Biocapacity per person

  21. Ecological Creditors and Ecological Debtors in MENA Ecological Footprint and Biocapacity PER CAPITA,1961-2006

  22. Houston, you have a problem..

  23. offical national gov Footprint studies we’re working on national govs WBCSDUNDPEP and ECUNEP Green Econ.SEEA (?) (2011)

  24. Summary • The planet has limits. Do you know how much biocapacity you have? and how much you use? • Blindness costs lives & opportunities. • Economic stability and competitiveness depends on managing eco-deficits mathis@footprintnetwork.org
