Every year, a Country Overshoot Day marks the date when the planet’s annual biocapacity budget would be used up if everyone on Earth lived at the same level of consumption as the residents of that particular country.
That’s because not every country produces the data. We don’t (yet) have a “global” order that requires a minimum standard of compliance and at the rate that the Orange is destroying everything he touches, I doubt we’ll see it in our lifetimes.
As I suspected, Australia celebrates overshoot day before Canada (in other words manages to be a worse polluter).
Interestingly, Uruguay, followed by Indonesia are best.

This data is expressed as a date. From the site:
Not all countries represented. Would like to see every country on there.

OK. I though it was a calculation based off of reported and estimated CO2 emmisions.
