"This metric" in context is the country overshoot day. If we're going to quote the page, quoting the right part of the page is important.
> A country’s overshoot day is the date on which Earth Overshoot Day would fall if all of humanity consumed like the people in this country.
That does inherently have a per-capita nature of the consumption in a given country.
- pinkmuffinere 3y agoThat’s fair — when extrapolating to the whole earth’s population, you do have to divide by the country’s population and scale up to the earths population. However, I think the intent of “Earth Overshoot Day” still stands. If every person consumed ecological resources at the same rate as a Bangladeshi, we would be consuming less.
