Global Footprint Network
institution
The man who runs the group that measures how much nature we use is also a member of an elite club that promotes the same ideas.
Who they are
Global Footprint Network, an international sustainability think-tank, and its founder and acting CEO, Mathis Wackernagel[1].
What they do
The group's approach says humanity demands over 75% more from nature than ecosystems can regenerate.
How it works
Wackernagel is a member of the Club of Rome. The Club of Rome's website notes he is co-creator of the Ecological Footprint and founder of the Global Footprint Network. The Global Footprint Network's website says its approach is based on ecological overshoot. The record links this to Target 16 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which uses a consumption footprint measure. But the record does not establish any formal institutional or funding relationship between the Global Footprint Network and the KMGBF, or between the Global Footprint Network and the Club of Rome.
Why it matters
It shows how the same person and ideas can appear in a measurement group, a policy framework, and a elite club, without formal ties being proven.
The engine's record — word for word
The corpus records: "It’s at this stage I suggest you look into the Global Footprint Network , and its founder and acting CEO, who incidentally just happens to be a Club of Rome member ." Cross-sourced to clubofrome.org, footprintnetwork.org — documents cited by the corpus and retrieved independently of it.
