Inflation impacts the GDP by changing the value of final goods and services over time, which is why the real GDP provides are more realistic view of a given country's output. The Green GDP, differs from both the real and original GDP as it takes into account the environmental consequences of economic growth. In other words, it is the original GDP adjusted for environmental impact. The Green GDP monetises the loss of biodiversity, costs of climate change, carbon emissions and more.
