Global Footprint Network Sustainability Covenant
Advancing the science of sustainability
Global Footprint Network's vision is to make the Ecological Footprint 
as prominent a metric as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The organisation is dedicated to advancing the scientific rigor and practical application of the Ecological Footprint, a tool that quantifies human demand on nature, and nature's capacity to meet these demands.
A sustainability covenant with Global Footprint Network will help the Victorian community develop innovative strategies to one planet living and influence change.
