ESS IBDP 8.4: Carrying Capacity unit of work
Carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species, or “load” that can be sustainably supported by a given area.
It is possible to estimate the carrying capacity of an environment for a given species; however, this is problematic in the case of human populations for a number of reasons.
An EF is the area of land and water required to support a defined human population at a given standard of living. The measure of an EF takes into account the area required to provide all the resources needed by the population, and the assimilation of all wastes.
EF is a model used to estimate the demands that human populations place on the environment.
EFs may vary significantly by country and by individual and include aspects such as lifestyle choices (EVS), productivity of food production systems, land use and industry. If the EF of a human population is greater than the land area available to it, this indicates that the population is unsustainable and exceeds the carrying capacity of that area.
Degradation of the environment, together with the consumption of finite resources, is expected to limit human population growth.
If human populations do not live sustainably, they will exceed carrying capacity and risk collapse.

cultural, religious, economic and sociopolitical contexts.
• An EVS might be considered as a system in the sense that it may be
infuenced by education, experience, culture and media (inputs), and involves
a set of interrelated premises, values and arguments that can generate
consistent decisions and evaluations (outputs).
• There is a spectrum of EVSs, from ecocentric through anthropocentric to
