Is the sentence above grammartically correct? If not would you rearrange it please. Thank you.

Hi,

This is how I approach it: The way it stands, it's incorrect because you have a present perfect structure and a simple present "is" clause but lacking a relative pronoun. I revised it as follows:

The industrialization to achieve economic (prosperity) has resulted in environmental degradation, which is a major concern in my country.

Does it help?
