Kuznet suggested that in the initial stages of development there are increasing incidences of environmental degradation, but as people/countries get richer, the demand for healthy environment and sustainable development increases. Is this always true?
No, this is not necessarily so.

Not necessarily.
This hypothesis has been rejected in many studies. Despite the fact that it is true in many countries and in many parts, it is rejected in some other fields such as deforestation as a proxy for environmental degradation.
