"opposing environments" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It can be used to describe two environments that are completely different or conflicting in nature. For example: "The polar bear must adapt to the opposing environments of the ice-covered Arctic and the warm, open ocean." In this sentence, the opposing environments are the cold, icy Arctic and the warmer, non-icy ocean. This phrase can also be used in a figurative sense, such as: "The two siblings grew up in opposing environments, with one living in a busy city and the other on a remote farm." In this case, the opposing environments refer to the different lifestyles and surroundings of the two siblings.
