This year, Earth Overshoot Day fell on August 2nd, marking the date when humanity's demand for ecological resources surpassed Earth's ability to regenerate them for the year.
To address the challenge of moving the Earth Overshoot Day towards the end of future years, different approaches aim to reduce our ecological footprint and promote sustainable practices to ensure a more balanced and sustainable relationship with the planet. meteoblue offers valuable tools to support these efforts. Our free climate change diagrams raise awareness by illustrating how temperatures and precipitation have evolved locally over the past 40 years. By understanding trends like temperature changes (see sample screenshot) and shifts in precipitation patterns, we can better prepare for climate change impacts.
Furthermore, adaptations in various sectors are necessary. This includes considering climate change effects in organisational plans, such as investments in new manufacturing infrastructure. In the European Union, the EU Taxonomy Regulation governs these considerations. climate+ offers instant access to climate predictions until 2100, providing valuable insights into the expected climate development at any location on Earth. The data are based on analysis of the local climate in the context of the IPCC RCP scenarios, allowing for comparisons and evaluations of uncertainties in temperature and precipitation. These data can be analysed and compared in an interactive interface or downloaded as raw data, facilitating informed decision-making. You can also test climate+ with its unique features for Basel.
meteoblue is offering a 50% discount during the month of August on the climate+ product. To avail of the discount, visitors can use the coupon code "meteoblue_climate+" when selecting the desired number of locations and proceeding with the purchase.
By taking action and making informed decisions, we can work towards moving Earth Overshoot Day to a more sustainable date in the future.
