Correlation between Ecological Footprint and Human Development Index (HDI). HDI values above 0.8 are defined as "Living well", Ecological footprint values below 1.7 are defined as "Living within environmental limits".The value of 1.7 refers to the average biocapacity per person globally in 2014 (see also http://data.footprintnetwork.org/#/exploreData. The HDI value of 0.8 refers to 'very high human development', according to UNDP (see http://hdr.undp.org/en/content/energising-human-development)
