Prof Jako Volschenk - Earth Overshoot Day - 26 June 2024

--:--
The 20th of June was South Africa’s Earth Overshoot Day – the day when our consumption of ecological resources exceeds the planet's capacity to regenerate them for that year. Earth Overshoot Day is a wake-up call for South Africans that everything we consume from today onwards, is taken from the future.
Jako Volschenk is an Associate Professor in Strategy and Sustainability at Stellenbosch Business School and he shares more on this interesting and very important topic, that is hopefully part of the wake-up call we all need.
