This document discusses the relationship between environmental pollution and economic development. It states that while economic growth has led to increased pollution, proper management is needed to curb pollution and promote sustainable development. The key aspects are: 1) Economic growth has been a major source of environmental pollution as industries emit more waste and greenhouse gases. 2) However, with effective regulations and investments in clean technologies, countries can grow their economies while reducing pollution levels. 3) Many nations are now pursuing green growth strategies that foster low-carbon development and resource efficiency to balance environmental and economic goals.
