In 1972, the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment took place in Stockholm. This led to the creation of the Stockholm Declaration and the UN Environment Program (UNEP), which continues to shape global environmental management and negotiations up to this day.
On June 2-3, Stockholm+50 will therefore commemorate and celebrate 50 years of global environmental action.
This high-level UN meeting will take us one step closer to delivering whole-of-society solutions that tackle the Earth’s triple planetary crisis – climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. The theme of the meeting is “Stockholm+50: a healthy planet for the prosperity of all - our responsibility, our opportunity”.
Stockholm is a city of innovation. A unique place for collaboration. We cannot but hope this environment will be conducive to what needs to be more ambitious, innovative and proactive climate action, as we reach the halfway point between COP26 and 27.
We’ll be at the conference and at the side-events below:
