正文(英文) | There’s no sugarcoating it: 2021 turned out to be a challenging year for us all. However, we celebrate that it was also a year that brought biodiversity to the forefront of the public debate. Home-bound urban dwellers spoke out about their longing for nature. Scientists tied the current pandemic to the encroachment of human activity on biodiversity. Multiple international summits were held, including the IUCN World Conservation Congress and the UN Biodiversity Conference (with its COP15 scheduled to conclude this year). And the business world experimented with interesting initiatives officially assessing its impact on nature. We have long advocated for biodiversity as well as natural ecosystem conservation and regeneration as one major lever in response to ecological overshoot. We are especially proud that our work was used extensively in the highly visible Economics of Biodiversity: Dasgupta Review published in February 2021. In the world of travel, our contribution to the DestiMED project led to conservation-conscious ecotourism packages becoming available in Croatia and Greece. In Portugal, the number of cities committed to using our custom City Footprint Calculator to help them develop appropriate ecosystem restoration policies with a view to growing their biocapacity, reached 20 in 2021. Speaking of the Footprint Calculator, our free, widely-used online tool kept growing in 2021 with 3.5 million users! Awards and RecognitionWe believe our work is more necessary and useful than ever and we are grateful that others agree with us. Here are some noteworthy nods we received in 2021:
Earth Overshoot Day
On social media, Greta Thunberg, Greenpeace, but also French astronaut Thomas Pesquet and European political leaders—even the Netflix show “Sweet Tooth”—talked about Earth Overshoot Day. 100 Days of Possibility
