Chhattisgarh has pioneered the integration of its forest ecosystem into Green GDP, recognizing the economic and environmental value of forests. Green GDP modifies traditional GDP by accounting for environmental costs such as natural resource depletion and ecosystem degradation. This initiative emphasizes biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, aligning economic growth with environmental health. By valuing forests within the Green GDP framework, Chhattisgarh underscores its commitment to sustainable practices and climate change mitigation, setting an example for other states to adopt similar approaches for a balanced and inclusive assessment of growth and well-being.
