The large population and rapidly increasing levels of consumption in Asia and the Pacific make the region a significant contributor to the global Ecological Footprint. With 55 per cent of world population, the Asia-Pacific region’s footprint occupies 40 per cent of available world biocapacity.
WWF and the Ecological Footprint Networks analyze the extent of Asia-Pacific’s ecological footprint, and examine options open to us all.
