Hosted in 1972, the United Nations Conference on the Environment in Stockholm was the first world conference to make the environment a major global issue. As a result, the Stockholm Declaration was born, and it was the first international environmental law document to recognize the right to a healthy environment.
Nearly 50 years later, we have seen a vast proliferation of environmental and sustainability conferences and events – from U.N.-level to localized events – that advance discussions around the collective need to address climate change.
