Industrialization can lead to pollution, resource depletion, habitat destruction, and contribute to climate change, impacting ecosystems and human health.

Global warming leads to rising temperatures, melting ice caps, sea level rise, extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems and agriculture.

Environmental degradation refers to the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources, pollution, habitat destruction, and other harmful activities.
