Earth overshot day is a point of this year when the human demand for material derived from nature can naturally regenerate the earth in a year. For 2025, Earth overshot Day fell on July 24, initially the incident took place since the first time the incident was calculated in 2006.
Earth Overshot Day was first launched in 2006 by a writer, political economist and campaign, Andrew Sims, in partnership with the mark network globally, as was reported by sustainable magazine. Since then, the Earth Overshot Day is calculated and it is announced annually. Since 2006, history has come before and before, indicating how fast human use habits are growing and snatching their resources.
This year, the global mark network has re -counted the previous Earth Reshot days, even before 2006, for more accuracy, even before 2006.
According to the latest calculations, Earth Overshot Day fell on the end of December 31 in 1972, but it began in 1979 until November 3. In the early 1980s, the date returned only by 1989 to reach 12 October, early December.
This date lasts from October 1989 to 1999, when it arrived on September 25. In 2006, when the Earth Overshot Day was announced for the first time, the latest calculation presented the program on August 22.
This date arrived for the first time in 2018, shortly in 2020, and was still in July. The previous initial record was July 25, which took place in 2022 and 2023. The world reaches its early Earth Overshot Day, highlighting how much humanity is eating and nature cannot maintain so much demand.
Today is the day #Arthur Shuttot Day. Falling on July 24 means that humanity is currently using nature 1.8 times faster, which can regenerate the Earth’s ecosystem. #Overshot Day

According to the Global Foot Print Network, we are currently using nature 1.8 times faster. Freshwater, trees and seafood consumption are all examples of natural products that cannot be filled soon after their elimination, not to mention that humanity is emitting more carbon more than absorbing the ecosystem.
But as this year’s Earth Overseas Day announcement is identified globally, the network has been identified as a global mark, which has a overall impact on eliminating resources, even if history remains stable. With improvement of consumption, pressure increases, as we have already seen with humanity more than seven of the nine planets.
“We are increasing the limits of how environmental damage we can do in the 21st century and we are at least 22 years of environmental regeneration in the 21st century, even if we now stop further damage,” said Lewis Acneji, a board member of the Global Foot Print Network, said in a statement. “If we still want to call this planet a home, this level of overshoot has demanded a scale ambition to adapt and reduce, which should earn whatever previous historical investment we have made for our common future.”
It will not be too late to start correcting the course for the future. According to the Global Foot Print Network, moving the date is possible through various various measures that are likely to be reported in a campaign called the Power of Possibility.
One of the biggest improvements would be to transmit the history of the land overshoot for 50 % to cut carbon emissions for three months a year.
Reducing global food waste by half will extend the date 13 days, establishing a new green contract globally can transmit 42 days, and generating at least 75 % of the renewable sources can extend this date to 26 days.
“Due to the nature of physics, the overshoot cannot be sustained,” said Matthew Walker Nigel, co -founder and board member of the Global Foot Print Network. “It should not be more difficult to choose which is better, especially in light of many potential choices.”
