English: ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT PER PERSON The Ecological Footprint per person is a nation's total Ecological Footprint divided by the total population of the nation. To live within the means of our planet's resources, the world's Ecological Footprint would have to equal the available biocapacity per person on our planet, which is currently 1.6 global hectares. So if a nation's Ecological Footprint per person is 6.4 global hectares, its citizens are demanding four times the resources and wastes that our planet can regenerate and absorb in the atmosphere.
