Which global event first initiated coordinated international action on environmental protection and development?
Stockholm Conference, 1972
The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stockholm in 1972, was the first major global conference to place environmental protection on the international agenda.
It led to the Stockholm Declaration and the creation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), marking the start of coordinated international action on environment and development.
The later Rio Conference (1992), Johannesburg Summit (2002) and Doha Climate Meeting (2012) built upon this foundation but came afterward.
Hence, the Stockholm Conference, 1972 first initiated coordinated international action on environmental protection.
