A country consuming resources at a 3.0 planet rate means it is using natural resources at a rate that would require three Earths to sustain. In other words, the country's resource consumption is three times faster than what the Earth can regenerate sustainably. To be sustainable, the country would need to reduce its resource consumption by two-thirds. This rate of consumption is fundamentally unsustainable in the long term and indicates significant environmental impact and resource depletion risks.
