Summary

Description
English: Chart showing progression over time of "Earth Overshoot Day", which is the first date on which the Earth cannot regenerate ecological resources used in each year
  • Data source: Past Earth Overshoot Days. OvershootDay.org. Earth Overshoot Day (2025). Archived from the original on 20 June 2025.
  • Source advises that during its annual date list updates, all previous years' values may have changed due to more comprehensive historical data and updated accounting methods. Accordingly, any updates to this chart should include the most recently published data values for all years.
  • Suggested caption: "The inward spiral shows how humans have progressively used more of Earth's resources than the planet can regenerate. Earth's ability to regenerate consumed resources now lasts only about 57% as long as in 1971."
  • Technical note: the SVG code for the data line and grid circles was automatically generated by the "Radar charts" spreadsheet linked at User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG. Substantial additions and adjustments were made in a text editor.
