Ecological Footprints of New Zealand and its Regions

September 2003, Ref. TR130

"This report calculates the 1997/98 ecological footprint of New Zealand and its regions. A 2003/04 ecological footprint has since been calculated. The results of this are summarised in Environment New Zealand 2007 and the full report is available from the New Zealand Centre for Ecological Economics as part of their NZCEE Monographs Series.

This report assess New Zealand's sustainability performance against two criteria - the amount of land “appropriated” be each person to support their consumption (ecological footprint per capita), and whether we're living within the “carrying capacity” of the land we have available.
