What happens when we use more from nature than Earth can regenerate?

This lively panel dives into Earth Overshoot Day 2025, when humanity’s demand on nature exceeds what the planet can renew in a year. In 2025, it falls on 24 July, marking the point when we begin living as if we had 1.8 Earths.

Join sustainability leaders Paul Shrivastava and Silvia Zimmermann del Castillo, Co-presidents of The Club of Rome), Mathis Wackernagel, Founder of the Global Footprint Network and Giulia Lombardo Pijola, food systems advocate, as they unpack what ecological overshoot means and what we can do about it.

Together they explore how consumption, economics and culture drive resource overuse and discuss practical solutions from education to systemic change and the role of youth, creativity and leadership in building a sustainable future.
