We are specifically focusing on 5 priority footprint areas that we believe need addressing most urgently:
- Carbon, Energy & Climate
(energy use, impact of forest loss, and the need for a new global policy on climate change)
- Farming
(food, fibre, grazing, aquaculture, and biofuels)
- Fishing
(over-fishing, illegal & unregulated fishing, and bycatch)
- Forestry
(timber, paper, pulp, and fuel wood)
- Water
(dams, irrigation, and drinking supplies)
To reduce humanity's footprint in these areas, we are developing and implementing new ways of growing crops, managing fisheries, forests and wetlands, generating energy, and dealing with waste.
The aim is that everyone lives within the Earth’s capacity to sustain people and nature, and has equitable access to, and use of, natural resources.
