Environmental Kuznets curve

 The environmental Kuznets curve states that a country’s environment tends to degrade as the country grows richer. But after the country reaches a certain level of economic development, the quality of its environments begins to improve. 

Supporters of this hypothesis believe that countries need to reach a particular average income level before they can aord to allocate the resources needed to protect the environment. In other words, poor countries do not care much about the environment as they have more pressing problems to solve.
