Every year the Global Footprint Network calculateswhen a country’s natural resources will be exhausted for the current year. In Austria, this date will already be reached on March 29, 2025 – much too earlyFrom this point until the end of the year, we will consume more than our ecosystem can regenerate. This is unsustainable.
Why is Country Overshoot Day a problem?
- Overuse of resources : We consume almost twice as many resources as our ecosystem can provide.
- Climate change & biodiversity loss : Increasing resource consumption leads to more greenhouse gas emissions and destroys natural habitats.
- Future of next generations : Every earlier Overshoot Day means fewer resources for future generations.
But the good news is: We have the power to postpone this day !
Interzero: Let’s postpone the date!

How can we make a difference together?

- Use recycled materials
- Optimize processes resource-efficiently
- Establish sustainable supply chains
The circular economy is the key – for greater sustainability, resource security and cost efficiency.
Everyone can make a contribution – but business and politics are needed!
