He also expressed high interest for the city Footprint calculator that will be developed next year, during phase 2 of the project.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-12733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintnetwork.org\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Bragan\u00e7a-9-crop-1000-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintnetwork.org\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Bragan\u00e7a-9-crop-1000-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintnetwork.org\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Bragan\u00e7a-9-crop-1000-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintnetwork.org\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Bragan\u00e7a-9-crop-1000.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>He was followed by Paulo Magalh\u00e3es, city Footprinting project coordinator at ZERO (pictured right), who talked about the overall scope and phases of the project. Alessandro Galli, Global Footprint Network\u2019s director of the Mediterranean program, then introduced the Ecological Footprint concept and presented metrics for the world and Mediterranean region.<\/p>\n<p>The findings of the Ecological Footprint and biocapacity analysis for the municipality of Bragan\u00e7a for the year 2016 were presented by Prof. Sara Moreno Pires from the University of Aveiro:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ecological Footprint is 4.01 global hectares (gha) per person, slightly higher than the national average.<\/li>\n<li>Food represents the largest share of the Ecological Footprint (30%) followed by the transportation sector (20%).<\/li>\n<li>Biocapacity is one of the highest among the six municipalities involved in the study: 2.68 global hectares (gha) per person, more than twice the national average and well above the other cities presented so far (Almada and Lagoa).<\/li>\n<li>Bragan\u00e7a\u2019s overshoot day is May 28.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An animated debate followed. The importance of environmental education in school curricula, personal reflections on our role as individuals, and the importance of data and awareness in guiding our daily choices, emerged as the main issues that were discussed by the panelists and the audience.<\/p>\n<p>In closing the meeting, Mayor Dias (second from left below) stressed the importance of both technological improvements and behavioral changes.
