Question

Explain the correlation of the following statement.

Environmental issues and UN efforts

Answer 1

In response to growing worldwide concern with environmental issues, the General Assembly organized the United Nations conference on the Human Environment, which was held in Stockholm in 1972 and led to the creation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in the same year. UNEP has attempted to find solutions to various environmental problems, including pollution in the Mediterranean Sea; the threat to aquatic resources posed by human economic activity; deforestation, desertification, and drought; the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer by human-produced chemicals; and global warming.
