Overshoot is humanity’s second largest risk in the 21st century. This event will explore the options that we have once we accept our context.
Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity has exhausted nature’s budget for the year. In 2022, Earth Overshoot Day fell on Thursday 28 July.

On Monday, 21 November at 18:00 GMT, join Dr. Mathis Wackernagel for a free event exploring these topics at The Royal Society Of Edinburgh.
