Abstract
“Environmental space” is the total amount of resources we can use (in a given time period) without compromising the ability of future generations to access the same amount. The global environmental space per capita can be calculated by dividing the total amount of natural resources and services to the total world population. By comparing this figure with the actual usage of the natural resources and services in a region or a country, the progress towards sustainable development of that region or country can be assessed. The comparison between regions, countries, and different geographical levels also indicates the evolution between them and toward sustainable development.
