Abstract

The catchphrase of the early 21st century has become global warming, climate change, and the consequent push to embrace significantly more ecologically concerned attitudes towards our finite natural resources.When natural resources are being used up more quickly than they can be regenerated, this is referred to as resource depletion. One can distinguish between a country's non-renewable and renewable natural resources. Natural resources play a major role in a country's economic growth. It appears that most current patterns of urbanization, agriculture, and the use of energy and natural resources are unsustainable and need immediate correction. Natural resource usage does not appear to be justified, which might have negative economic effects on the country. Depletion of resources is being accelerated by population explosion. This article examines how, between 1990 and 2023, the use of renewable energy sources and the loss of natural resources affected environmental deterioration.
