The economic cost of environmental damage in Mexico was 6.3% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during 2012, according to the most recent calculations released by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi).

During the production process, environmental costs are generated derived from two events: one, the depletion of natural resources; and two, environmental degradation. In 2012, these costs reached 985 thousand 64 million pesos.

This amount, explains Inegi, reflects the expenses that society would have to incur to prevent or remedy the decrease and loss of natural resources, as well as the deterioration of the environment.

The costs for depletion of natural resources in 2012 amounted to 261 thousand 620 million pesos, 1.7% of the GDP and 27% of the total cost, while the costs for deterioration of the environment amounted to 723 thousand 444 million pesos, 4.6% of the GDP and 73% of the total.
