According to Penn State, environmental protection is the reduction of environmental risks from hazardous materials and pollutants such as waste, fuel, and oil. And, according to the oxford dictionary, 'economic development' means An economic transformation of a country or region that leads to the improvement of the well-being and economic capabilities of its residents. In the process of economic development, hazardous substances and wastes, and many fuels such as oil and natural gas are generated, which pollute the environment.
According to National Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts, On August 3, 2023, the world will consume more natural resources in one year than the Earth can regenerate. The earth's resources are limited and the fact that we used up a year's worth of resources on August 3 means that the earth is dying faster and faster.
The main component of the current environmental degradation is the manifestation of global warming destruction. According to WWF(World Wide Fund for Nature), Scientists noted that since the beginning of the century, the average surface temperature of the planet has increased by 0.8 degrees Celsius, reaching a record high. Professor Brian Hoskins from Imperial College London reported that due to air pollution, and ocean pollution, etc. caused by the continuous operation of factories, etc. that CO2 levels were the highest in about 4.5 million years, with fossil fuel burning and deforestation being the main symptoms of the increased global warming. In addition, the last five years have been the warmest five years on record, and the Arctic Ocean has warmed much faster than expected. The United Nations estimates that climate-related disasters have caused $1.4 trillion worth of damage globally in the last decade. In just 40 years, people have caused a 60% decline in wildlife on land, sea, and freshwater. This decline in biodiversity can affect humans as well.
If current trends continue as technological advancement is prioritized, not only will available resources be depleted, but the rapid rise in global temperatures will cause the glaciers in the Arctic to melt and submerge much of the land. This will make the environment uninhabitable for living things, including humans.
You can see that there is a close relationship between the two words

(You don't need to define what environment means. This is an obvious definition. Instead, you want to define the term environmental protection and explain what you mean by it. What do you mean when you say the environment should be protected? How should it be protected? From what? Make sure you find sources to quote from. Then, you need to define what you mean by economic development and how it goes against environmental protection. But you need to quote this meaning from a source and explain in your own words. Also, if you are going to define what biodiversity is, you need to explain how this term is relevant to your thesis.)

(This is just explaining about how nature is deteriorating. You need to relate this with economic development, which is your thesis. How is this caused by economic development? You need to mention the fact the technological development has caused such damage on the environment and the controversy over environmental protection vs. technological/economical development.)
If current trends continue as technological advancement is prioritized, not only will available resources be depleted, but the rapid rise in global temperatures will cause the glaciers in the Arctic to melt and submerge much of the land. This will make the environment uninhabitable for living things, including humans.
