promotes a sustainable economy by advancing the use of the Ecological Footprint, a resource management tool that measures how much nature we have, how much we use and who uses what. All Footprint and biocapacity data in this report are based on the National Footprint Accounts, Edition 2011. www.footprintnetwork.org

The International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF) represents the countries that share the French language. Today, it includes 75 member states and governments (56 members and 19 observers) on five continents. It represents a unique group for whom the sharing of a common language is a starting point for political, economic and cultural cooperation between its members. www.francophonie.org

OIF is also involved in sustainable development cooperation through (IEEP). IEFP’s mission is to contribute to strengthening national capabilities on both institutional and individual levels and to promote partnerships in the field of energy and the environment. IEPF has been created in 1988 to reflect the commitment of heads of States and governments of Francophone countries for a concerted action on developing the energy sector in member countries. In 1996, this mission was expanded to include the environment. www.iepf.org

e are in a new era of resource constraints, with countries becoming increasingly dependent on resources they do not have.

As a result, more countries are competing in an accelerated race for limited global resources. We call this new dynamic “The global auction.” To remain economically competitive, countries with ecological deficits need new tools for successful policy and investment decisions. Economic planners and private investors who ignore this new reality put their assets in peril.

FROM ECOLOGICAL CREDITORS TO DEBTORS Even the strongest economies will not operate without fuel, water, food and fibers. Input of primary resources keeps economies on the move. During the 20th century, such inputs were easily available. Prices were falling. As a result, most countries became dependent on large amounts of natural resources they did not have—both non-renewables (such as fossil fuels) and biological resources and services (such as food, water, fibers and carbon sequestration). While resources are still relatively cheap today, growing global demand has led to a supply crunch. This new situation is reshaping the rules of competitiveness for all economies.

E C O L O G I C A L C R E D I T O R S A N D E C O L O G I C A L D E B T O R S 19 61

The Ecological Footprint represents humanity’s demand on the planet for natural resources and ecosystem services. Biocapacity tracks Earth’s supply of these same resources and services. Both Ecological Footprint and biocapacity results are expressed in a globally comparable, standardized unit called a “global hectare” (gha)—a hectare of biologically productive land or sea area with world average bioproductivity in a given year. These two indicators show a clear trend over the past 50 years: More and more countries are becoming ecological debtors—that is, their Footprint exceeds the biocapacity available within their borders. As the maps show, in 1961 most people lived in countries that had more biocapacity than their residents demanded. By 2008, 83 percent of the world population lived in countries that demanded more than what their local ecosystems could renew. 2

FRANCOPHONE NATIONS Member nations of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie represent a diversity of geographies, cultures, and economic possibilities. Through La Francophonie, they are united in the goal of advancing peace and sustainable development. Global Footprint Network’s initiative with La Francophonie has this same goal at heart. Its purpose is to summarize the resource situation of those nations using the Ecological Footprint and biocapacity indicators, and to identify how resource constraints carry implications for their economic performance. The full Footprint Atlas will be published in 2013.

Footprint is 0-50% larger than biocapacity 50-100% larger than biocapacity 100-150% larger than biocapacity >150% larger than biocapacity Data not available

Countries with ecological deficits (when the Footprint exceeds local biocapacity) depend on net imports of resources, on depletion of their ecological assets, and/ or on the use of global commons (such as the sequestration of anthropogenic CO2 pollution). Dependence on imported resources exposes a country to supply disruption and price volatility. Overharvesting causes a loss of capital assets. Emitting CO2 from fossil fuel burning is largely free of direct costs for now, but fossil fuels are far from free. For instance, oil costs dwarf even the most aggressive proposed CO2 taxes.

ONE KEY TREND IS CLEAR:

Data not available

more and more countries are becoming ecological debtors. As the maps show, there has been a significant shift since 1961. Back then,

Ecological creditor countries use fewer resources and ecological services than are available within their borders, and therefore are endowed with a biocapacity reserve. Biocapacity reserves, in an increasingly resource-constrained world, are becoming rare and more sought after. The growing value of biocapacity gives those countries an economic advantage.

most people lived in countries that had more biocapacity than their residents demanded. In other words, they were like true farms, where the farm family is consuming less than what their farm can produce. By now 83 percent of the world population lives in countries where residents demand more than what their ecosystems can renew. Humanity’s demand is now 50 percent larger than the planet’s biocapacity, up from a 30 percent reserve in 1961. This global overshoot translates inevitably into liquidation of ecological assets.

Forest product Footprint

The primary lithosphere resource, fossil fuel, is most restricted by the biosphere’s finite capacity to absorb CO2 waste. Biocapacity is far more limited than oil, gas and coal availability. In fact, if humanity burned more than one fifth of the fossil fuels already found, global average temperatures would increase more than 2 degrees Celsius, a commonly recognized upper threshold for dangerous climate change (carbontracker.org).

A country’s Footprint is the sum of all the cropland, grazing land, forest and fishing grounds required to produce the food, fiber, timber, and fuel wood it consumes, to provide space for its settlements and infrastructure, and to absorb the wastes it emits (current Footprint calculations only include one waste: CO2 from fossil fuels). A country’s Footprint calculation includes its net imports—that is, when residents demand resources and ecological services from foreign ecosystems, it adds to their total and per capita Footprint. In 2008, the single largest demand humanity put on the biosphere was its carbon Footprint.

Fish Footprint 24

Human and non-human life compete for area on this planet, and is ultimately limited by the biosphere’s regenerative capacity. In addition to the scarcity of crop land, fishing grounds, forests, and the like, use of non-renewable resources from the lithosphere also faces limitations.

Humanity is entering a new era of constraints, when demand exceeds the planet’s limited supplies of natural resources and other ecosystem services. While many resource and consumption trends are global, each country is in a unique situation (as demonstrated by countries’ biocapacity and Footprint trends shown for 11 countries in the appendix).

measures people’s demand on nature. It is expressed as the biologically productive land and sea area required to provide all the ecosystem services people use through the consumption of their goods and services. In 2008, humanity’s Ecological Footprint was 18 billion global hectares (gha), or 2.7 gha per person. On the supply side, the planet’s productive area, or biocapacity, was 12 billion gha, or 1.8 gha per person. This means global demand exceeded the planet’s supply by the aforementioned 50 percent (2.7 gha/1.8 gha ≈ 1.5).

BIO C APACIT Y is influenced both by natural events and human activities. Some agricultural practices, for example, can reduce long-term biocapacity by increasing soil erosion or salinity. Climate change, whether driven by human or natural forces, can decrease forest biocapacity as drier and warmer weather increase the potential for changing species composition, yield losses, fires and pest outbreaks.

In an era of global overshoot, the uneven distribution of biocapacity raises political and economic questions. Ecological debtor countries face increasing risk from a growing dependence on the biological capacity of others. Conversely, countries with biocapacity reserves can view their biological wealth as an asset that provides an important competitive advantage in an uncertain world.

Figure 1: Ecological Footprint and biocapacity ranked by countries’ per capita biocapacity. This comparison includes all Francophonie member countries for which sufficient data are available (typically those with populations greater than 1 million). While the average per person Footprint among members is slightly smaller than the world average, their biocapacity per person exceeds that of the world by one third.

SUCC EED I N G I N T H E G LO BA L AUC T I O N WHY AN AUCTION – AND WHY THE FOCUS ON REL ATIVE INCOME? We are in a world of resource limitations,

wanting—and competing for—more of the planet’s limited biocapacity. In this global auction of finite goods, what matters most is not absolute ability to pay, but the relative ability compared to all the other bidding powers. If people’s relative income is decreasing in a world where all want more, their ability to compete in the auction is weakening. To

income.

For

Egyptian, a Belgian, a Nigerian or a Cambodian, get from the total global income pie? And how is this

6

For many Francophonie member countries, their residents’ absolute income may have increased on average, but their share in global income has fallen. For instance, the French resident today earns on average 35 percent less of the total global income than 30 years ago (measured in GNI according to World Bank statistics). The resident of Senegal receives on average 50 percent less of the global income than three decades earlier. This is creating a new challenge for these and other countries: Since all countries participate in increasingly interconnected economies, dropping relative incomes make it more difficult for ecological debtors to compete in the global market for the world’s limited resources.

These conflicting trends point to a structural weakening of countries’ economies. Before the global auction for biocapacity (when resources were abundant), declining relative income barely affected countries’ economies. In the era of plentiful resources, supply of goods and resources was limited only by market demands. In a world where resource costs are becoming a significant factor to economic production, biocapacity and relative income trends will become key determinants of economic success or failure.

This is the essence: for most countries, the relative income of residents’ has decreased. At the same time, biocapacity deficits have increased (or biocapacity reserves have shrunk). As countries depend more on biocapacity from outside the country, their ability to bid for these resources is diminishing.

W H AT ’ S N E X T ? La Francophonie and Global Footprint Network will launch the complete report on francophone member nations’ biocapacity and Footprints in mid-2013.

The appendix contains eleven country trends to spotlight the particular situation of those countries.

The initiative’s goal is to help policy analysts identify more specific risks and opportunities for each nation, including options for diversifying trade.

instance,

what percentage share does an

share changing over time?

Global Footprint Network’s data highlights the fundamental conflict between two major trends: Human demand for biocapacity is continuously increasing, while relative income for many countries is in decline.

To find out more, or to participate in this initiative, contact La Francophonie at: rajae.chafil@francophonie.org or Global Footprint Network at info@footprintnetwork.org.

The full report will highlight tools for measuring risks, and include strategies for action. It will discuss how to mitigate the risks of a global auction, including countries’ need to revisit their competitiveness strategies and adapt them to this new era of resource constraints. It will also outline why focusing on wealth generation, rather than income maximization, allows countries to build a foundation for a stable economy.

incomes come down (1985 – 2007). While the biocapacity deficits have been growing fast, per capita income of most countries compared to global income has been shrinking, weakening their position to access limited resources from around the globe. This means as countries increasingly require resources and ecological services beyond what their domestic ecosystems can provide (in net terms), their relative purchasing power is declining. Note: The y-axis shows the fraction of the world’s GDP a resident of a given country on average generates. Therefore the world’s average per person share, per definition, is at (1/world population) or currently at about 0.14 of a

APPENDIX A : C ALCUL ATING THE ECOLOGIC AL FOOTPRINT AND BIOC APACIT Y The National Footprint Accounts track countries’ use of ecological services and resources as well as the biocapacity available in each country. As with any resource accounts, they are static, quantitative descriptions of outcomes for any given year in the past for which data exist. The detailed calculation methodology of the most updated Accounts are described in Calculation Methodology for the National Footprint Accounts, 2011 Edition (www.footprintnetwork.org, 2011). The implementation of the National Footprint Accounts through database-supported templates is described in the Guidebook to the National Footprint Accounts (Kitzes et al. 2008) and the method paper by Borucke et al. (2013). Kitzes et al. (2009) outline the research agenda for improvements. The National Footprint Accounts, 2011 edition, calculate the Ecological Footprint and biocapacity for 240 countries, territories and regions, from 1961 to 2008. ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

The National Footprint Accounts, 2011 edition, track human demand for ecological services in terms of six major land use types (cropland, grazing land, forest land, carbon Footprint, fishing grounds, and built-up land). The Ecological Footprint of each major land use type is calculated by summing the contributions of products and activities 30

competing for bioproductive space. Built-up land reflects the bioproductivity compromised by infrastructure and hydropower. Forest land for carbon dioxide uptake represents the carbon absorptive capacity of a world average hectare of forest needed to absorb human induced carbon dioxide emissions, after having considered the ocean sequestration capacity (also called the carbon Footprint). The Ecological Footprint calculates the combined demand for ecological resources wherever they are located and presents them as the global average area needed to support a specific human activity. This quantity is expressed in units of global hectares. A global hectare is defined as a biologically productive hectare with world average bioproductivity. By expressing all results in a common unit, biocapacity and Footprints can be directly compared across land use types and countries. Demand for resource production and waste assimilation are translated into global hectares by dividing the total amount of a resource consumed by the yield per hectare, or dividing the waste emitted by the absorptive capacity per hectare. Yields are calculated based on various international statistics, primarily those from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO ResourceSTAT Statistical Databases).

Yields are mutually exclusive: If two crops are grown at the same time on the same hectare, one portion of the hectare is assigned to one crop, and the remainder to the other. This avoids double counting. This follows the same logic as measuring the size of a farm: Each hectare is only counted once, even though it might provide multiple services. The Ecological Footprint, in its most basic form, is calculated by the following equation:

where D is the annual demand of a product and Y is the annual yield of the same product (Borucke et al, 2013). Yield is expressed in global hectares. In practice, global hectares are estimated with the help of two factors: The yield factors (that compare national average yield per hectare to world average yield in the same land category) and the equivalence factors (which capture the relative productivity among the various land and sea area types). Therefore, the formula of the Ecological Footprint becomes:

where P is the amount of a product harvested or waste emitted (equal to

DANNUAL above), YN is the national average yield for P, and YF and EQF are the yield factor and equivalence factor, respectively, for the country and land use type in question. The yield factor is the ratio of national-to-world-average yields. It is calculated as the annual availability of usable products and varies by country and year. Equivalence factors translate the area supplied or demanded of a specific land use type (e.g. world average cropland, grazing land, etc.) into units of world average biologically productive area expressed in global hectares. These factors vary by land use type and year. Annual demand for manufactured or derivative products (e.g. flour or wood pulp) is converted into primary product equivalents (e.g., wheat or roundwood) through the use of extraction rates. These quantities of primary product equivalents are then translated into an Ecological Footprint. The Ecological Footprint also embodies the energy required for the manufacturing process.

CONSUM PTI O N , PRODUCTION , AND TRADE

The National Footprint Accounts calculate the Footprint of a population from a number of perspectives. Most commonly reported is the Ecological Footprint of consumption of a population, typically just called Ecological Footprint. The Ecological Footprint of consumption


F O OT P R I N T A N D B I O C A PAC I T Y ATL A S O F F R A N CO P H O N I E M E M B E R N AT I O N S

for a given country measures the biocapacity demanded by the final consumption of all the residents of the country. This includes their household consumption as well as their collective consumption, such as schools, roads, fire brigades, etc., which serve the household, but may not be directly paid for by the households. In contrast, a country’s primary production Ecological Footprint is the sum of the Footprints for all resources harvested and all waste generated within the country’s geographical borders. This includes all the area within a country necessary for supporting the actual harvest of primary products (cropland, grazing land, forest land, and fishing grounds), the country’s infrastructure and hydropower (built-up land), and the area needed to absorb fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions generated within the country (carbon Footprint). The difference between the production and consumption Footprint is trade, shown by the following equation:

where EFC is the Ecological Footprint of consumption, EFP is the Ecological Footprint of production, and EFI and EFE are the Footprints of imported and exported commodity flows, respectively.

BIOCAPACIT Y

A national biocapacity calculation starts with the total amount of bioproductive land and sea available. “Bioproductive” refers to land and water areas that supports significant photosynthetic activity and accumulation of biomass, ignoring barren areas of low, dispersed productivity. This is not to say that areas such as the Sahara Desert, Antarctica, or Alpine mountaintops do not support life; their production is simply too widespread to be directly harvestable and negligible in quantity. Biocapacity is an aggregated measure of the amount of area available, weighted by the productivity of that area. It represents the ability of the biosphere to produce crops, livestock (pasture), timber products (forest), and fish, as well as to uptake carbon dioxide in forests. It also includes how much of this regenerative capacity is occupied by infrastructure (built-up land). In short, it measures the ability of available terrestrial and aquatic areas to provide ecological services. A country’s biocapacity for any land use type is calculated as:

where BC is the biocapacity, A is the area available for a given land use type, and YF and EQF are the yield factor and equivalence factor, respectively, for the country land use type in question.
