“…Carrying capacity is the maximum population size that can be supported by a given set of resources. EFs express this notion in terms of land area by translating economic activity into the area required to produce the resources consumed and to assimilate the wastes generated by a given region (Wackernagel et al 2000(Wackernagel et al , 2002. Various components of consumption are identified and measured, typically including: crop and animal-based products; timber-based products; fish; built infrastructure; and fossil fuels (chapters 3 and 4 of the SEEA-2003).…”

“…Traditional EF analysis needs to estimate the supporting area that would be necessary to maintain natural resource flows, under the predominant management and production practices in any given year (Holmberg et al 1999;Wackernagel et al 1999;Monfreda et al 2004;Wackernagel et al 2004b). The supporting area is calculated based on all consumed goods in a specified area in any given year.…”

“…The EF and biocapacity of built-up area and land for hydroelectricity are calculated according to the parameters of cropland, and the EF of fossil energy is calculated according to forestland area. The amount of area needed to absorb a defined amount of CO 2 was based upon global average forest productivity (see Wackernagel et al 1999). …”

“…The authors find that human activity has already resulted in the violation of three of the thresholds, suggesting that we are operating in the "red zone" with respect to anthropogenic impact. Similarly, Wackernagel et al (1999) develop a framework to map source and sink consumption to land-area requirements, that is, to an "ecological footprint." They estimate that we would require 1.5 Earths to sustain current levels of human activity (Global Footprint Network 2013 are ultimately driven by an unsustainable rate of consumption of specific sources and an unsustainable rate of emission into specific sinks.…”
