Earth Overshoot Day
An Urgent Conversation with David Lin, Chief Science Officer at Global Footprint Network
Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources exceeds what Earth can regenerate in a given year. In 2025, that date is arriving eight days earlier than last year, a signal that we are moving further into ecological debt.
Overshoot is not just an environmental crisis — it is a social, economic, and generational one. It is driven by how many of us there are, how we consume, and the systems we uphold. In the 21st century, our second-biggest threat is overshoot itself. The biggest? Failing to act.
Join Population Connection for a powerful conversation with David Lin, Chief Science Officer at Global Footprint Network, as we explore what it means to live beyond our planet’s means and what it will take to bring humanity back into ecological balance. From equitable access to family planning to sustainable infrastructure and consumption, this discussion will spotlight solutions that honor both people and planet.
Because no matter what, overshoot will end. The only question is how: by design, or by disaster.

Partner Perspectives
Site Visit with Maya Health Alliance
Join us for the second session of our virtual Site Visit Series, spotlighting our Guatemalan partners, Maya Health Alliance!
Since 2007, Maya Health Alliance, also known as Wuqu’ Kawoq, has been advancing quality healthcare services in rural regions of Guatemala. Their community-based approach combines medicine, culture, and language to overcome barriers to care and improve women’s health, maternal-infant health, and chronic disease outcomes.
This session will begin with a presentation by Population Connection Senior Analyst Hannah Evans, who visited Maya Health Alliance earlier this year. Hannah will provide an important overview of Guatemala’s demographic trends before diving into photos and stories from her site visit. Then, we will hear from Anne Kraemer, co-founder and CEO of Maya Health Alliance, to further explore the organization’s founding mission, key programs, and future goals. Anne will share compelling stories from program participants that you won’t want to miss out on!
