In Just 7 Months, the World Used an Entire Year ’ s Worth of Planetary Resources
For most people, Aug. 2, 2023 has been a day that’s gone largely unremarked upon. But for the planet as a whole, it was a very big—and very bad—date. Aug. 2 marked this year’s so-called Earth Overshoot Day—the day on which the annual resources humanity extracts from the earth exceeds the planet’s ability to regenerate them in the same year. Haul more fish from the ocean than can breed in their place? That’s an overshoot. Pump more fresh water from a lake or river or aquifer than can be replaced by rain, snow melt, or groundwater? That’s an overshoot.

As prospect of unregulated deep-sea mining looms, scientists sound the alarm
A high-stakes effort to hash out environmental regulations governing mining of the seabed in international waters ended without agreement last week, after negotiators missed a July deadline. The lack of progress by the International Seabed Authority (ISA) raises an alarming prospect, observers say: that mining operations targeting metals needed by the electric vehicle industry could commence without effective regulations in place.
