Biocapacity (deficit) - Period 1961 - 2017 (MSSD Indicator 1b)

"Biocapacity is the ecosystems’ capacity to produce biological materials used by people and to absorb waste material generated by humans, under current management schemes and extraction technologies."

In 2017 (last updated data), all Mediterranean countries had ecological deficit meaning that the environment capacity of the region is used up faster than it is renewed. Source: https://www.obs.planbleu.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/SMDD_Dashboard_Version_Mars_2021.pdf

source_abstract In 2017 (last updated data), all Mediterranean countries had ecological deficit meaning that the environment capacity of the region is used up faster than it is renewed. • Ecological Footprint: A measure of how much area of biologically productive land and water an individual, population, or activity requires to produce all the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates, using prevailing technology and resource management practices. • Biocapacity: Ecosystems' capacity to produce biological materials used by people and to absorb waste material generated by humans, under current management schemes and extraction technologies. • Ecological deficit / reserve: The difference between the Biocapacity and Ecological Footprint of a region or country.
