No. Earth Overshoot Day aggregates all human demand into a single unit (the global hectare) and compares it with a single supply: the planet's biocapacity. Planetary boundaries (Stockholm Resilience Centre) work the other way round: 9 independent dimensions (climate, biodiversity, nitrogen/phosphorus cycles, freshwater, land use, etc.), each with its own safety threshold, without conversion into a common unit or adding them together. The two are complementary: the first tells us whether we are living within the planet's overall means, while the second tells us which specific dimension is outside safe limits.
