The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment was held in Stockholm, Sweden, during June 5–16, 1972.
When the United Nations General Assembly decided to convene the 1972 Stockholm Conference, taking up the offer of the Government of Sweden to host it,[1] UN Secretary-General U Thant invited Maurice Strong to lead it as Secretary-General of the Conference, as the Canadian diplomat (under Pierre Trudeau) had initiated and already worked for over two years on the project.[2][3]
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was created as a result of this conference.[4]
