环境退化(Environmental degradation)是指生态环境的惡化,包括像清淨空氣、水及土壤之類的資源枯竭,生態系的破壞以及野生动物的滅絕。环境退化可以定義為環境中有害的或不希望的變化或是干擾。根據方程,环境影响(I)或是环境恶化是由三個因素組成而成:已經很多而且持續增加的人口(P)、持續增加的經濟成長或是人均财富(A)、以及消耗資源或是製造污染的技術應用(T)。
环境退化是联合国正式警告的十大威胁之一。定義环境退化是「環境符合社會及生態目的及需求能力的下降。」。环境退化有許多不同的形式,例如棲息地破壞或是自然資源枯竭時,环境就退化了。對抗环境退化的方式包括环境保护及環境資源管理。
