Earth Overshoot Day is the date each year when humanity's demand on nature exceeds the Earth's biocapacity.
This date gets earlier each year, meaning that it is taking less time to use up the resources produced by the Earth and that current consumption is taking from the future.
For 2024, that date is July 27th.
However, as you can see in the diagram below, when broken down by country, Australia's Overshoot Day 2024 is April 5th.
Please find below our latest What's On newsletter.
Saturday March 23rd, 8.30 - 9.30 pm is Earth Hour 2024.
Earth Hour is an annual global event that encourages people to switch off their lights for one hour to raise awareness about environmental conservation.
