Abstract

Industrial development drives to higher economic growth rate. This paper examines empirically the effects of industrial waste on urban biodiversity in Nepal based on secondary data set by employing its analytical mapping method. In addition, it estimates social cost of urban biodiversity loss. Its result is positive correlation between industrial waste and urban biodiversity loss. Its social cost is interestingly significant.
