Unit 2 – People and the Planet Topic 5 – Changing Cities
Learning Objective
• Be able to define ‘eco-footprint’• Consider how people vary in their own eco-
footprints• Consider the difference in eco-footprint
between urban and rural• Understand the difference between
developing (LEDC) and developed (MEDC) footprints
Eco-footprints explained
• An eco-footprint is a measurement of how sustainable someone or an area is.
• Mind map criteria for eco – footprint.

Summarise into 50 wordsThe Ecological Footprint (EF) is a measure of how much productive land and sea is needed to provide the resources, such as energy, water and raw materials, we use in our everyday lives. It also calculates the emissions generated from the oil, coal and gas we burn, and it determines how much land is required to absorb our waste. Since we use resources from all over the world, our footprint is the sum of these areas, wherever they are on the planet. It is measured in global hectares per person (gha/capita). An ecological footprint can be calculated for an individual, a group or even a product.
