Earth is reaching its limits. 🌍💔 Every year, we consume more resources than our planet can regenerate.

This is what Earth Overshoot Day represents—the date when humanity's demand for ecological resources exceeds what the Earth can renew in a year.

This date is different for every country - for Austria it is sadly tomorrow already - the 29th of March.

This is a strong reminder that we are pushing our home beyond its breaking point. It's time to rethink how we live, consume, and protect our future. Together, we can shift towards sustainability and move the Overshoot Day back. Will you be part of the change?

Last night, Advantage Austria held a reception to celebrate sustainability and circularity in construction.

Delegates included innovators participating on the Austrian Pavilion at Futurebuild, as well as Austrian winners of funding for new disruptive circular solutions.

Also present at the event were representatives from DEFRA’s Circular Economy Taskforce.

The Circular Economy Taskforce is an independent expert advisory group established in November 2024 to support the UK government in creating a circular economy strategy for England.

This Taskforce’s expertise will enable co-design of the first strategy to begin the transition to a circular economy in England, to support economic growth, create green jobs, promote efficient and productive use of resources and accelerate the transition to net zero emissions.

Pictured at the reception are Michael Mueller, the Advantage Austria Trade Commissioner to the UK, Günther Jedliczka, CEO of OeAD student housing, which organises GBS and AEMS and Dr David Springfield, a member of the DEFRA Circular Economy Taskforce.

The OeAD student housing team is at Futurebuild in London today, showcasing the Green.Building.Solutions. (GBS) Summer University at the ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA pavilion.

Futurebuild is a key event for rethinking the built environment, aligning closely with GBS’s focus on sustainable architecture, energy-efficient design and climate-conscious urban planning.

Through a hands-on approach, GBS offers students and professionals the knowledge to create buildings that benefit the planet.

By connecting with universities from the UK and Ireland, we’re strengthening partnerships that support innovation in sustainable construction.
