1. Pollution: The degradation of air, water, and soil quality due to industrial activities, urbanization, and other sources of pollutants.
2. Resource Depletion: The consumption of natural resources, including fossil fuels, minerals, forests, and water, that reduces the availability of these resources for future generations.
3. Environmental Degradation: The loss of biodiversity, deforestation, and destruction of ecosystems as a result of economic activities.

Significance of Green GDP:

• Sustainable Development: Green GDP provides a more comprehensive picture of a nation's economic performance by incorporating the sustainability of growth. It emphasizes the importance of balancing economic progress with environmental preservation.
• Policy Making: It helps policymakers assess the true cost of economic activities, guiding them in making decisions that promote environmental sustainability and responsible resource management.
• Public Awareness: Green GDP raises awareness about the environmental consequences of economic growth and encourages businesses and consumers to consider the environmental impact of their actions.

Example: If a country's traditional GDP shows robust growth due to industrial expansion, but this growth is accompanied by significant air pollution and resource depletion, the Green GDP might show a lower value. This adjustment reflects the environmental costs associated with the economic activities, providing a more realistic measure of overall economic well-being.
