The Government of Sweden will host Stockholm+50 , an international meeting to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Stockholm Conference and to accelerate implementation to deliver on the 2030 Agenda and achieve sustainable recovery from COVID-19.
Stockholm+50 will provide an opportunity for the international community to strengthen cooperation and show leadership in the transformation towards a more sustainable society, in line with the declaration that was recently adopted in conjunction with the marking of the 75th anniversary of the UN.
The 1972 Stockholm Conference resulted in the Stockholm Declaration including several guiding principles on global environmental governance. Another result of the meeting was the establishment of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Environment Day.
