Resources depletion refers to the situation where the consumption of natural resources is faster than it can be replenished. In order to achieve economic growth, developing countries are abusing their lands on the grounds of economic interests. Population Explosion is acting as a catalyst for resources depletion. It seems evident that developing countries pursuing rapid economic growth disregard environmental concerns. The natural resources contribute at large to the economic development of a nation. Consumption pattern if not addressed will lead to irreversible climate change and declined economic growth, as a result of increased social, economic, and environmental costs and decreased productivity. Resource utilization has always been part of human history; however, the acceleration of economic growth activities together with the pursuit of an urgent economic development is the core cause of resources overexploitation. Consumption pattern will lead to irreversible climate change and declined economic growth.
