Our 2014 Annual Report is now available! Over the course of 2014, Global Footprint Network engaged with 39 nations, 11 sub-national entities and 21 international organizations to help reduce ecological overshoot and support global sustainability.Our Finance For Change program reached a new milestone with the launch of ERISC (Environmental Risk Integration in Sovereign Credit) Phase II, a research project that evaluates the impact of natural resource constraints on country trade-related risk, with a special focus on food. Stay tuned as the Phase II report is expected later this year. Another highlight is the launch of our Sustainable Development Return on Investment pilot project in India. The tool empowers local communities to manage their own socioeconomic development, while helping funders of development projects measure lasting impact.

With the back-to-school season in full swing, we’re excited to bring two new books featuring the Ecological Footprint to your attention. The Ecological Footprint: New Developments in Policy and Practice by Andrea Collins and Andrew Flynn, both of Cardiff University, is a must-read for anyone—including students and policy makers—interested in Ecological Footprint research and its applications, especially in the United Kingdom. The book highlights Wales and its capital, Cardiff, as an early adopter of the Ecological Footprint among its headline indicators of sustainability.

In a more personal work, longtime Global Footprint Network friend Peter Seidel, author of  There Is Still Time, looks at the big picture of environmental challenges on our planet, while aiming to inspire readers to act and make progress toward sustainability.
