I'd like to ask if there is any difference between
In such environment, we…
and
In such an environment, we…
If yes, then what does each phrase mean?
If anyone happens to know the grammatical term/topic to describe this difference so that I can read more about it, please let me know.

I'm curious what you are trying to express here. I have never read/heard "in such environment" and I read a fair amount. Unless there's some technical application, I would use "in such an environment".
After searching on Google, "in such environment" comes up 144,000 times—with many results being similar.
"In such an environment" comes up over 5 million times and seems to be the most popular way of expressing this concept.
The only time I can imagine using "such environment" is when preceded by "no", otherwise, it just sounds wrong to me.
I may be wrong but "in such environment" sounds grammatically incorrect to me.
If you could explain what you're trying to say, it might be easier to help. :) Good luck!
