Only One Earth - The Environment

Pollution of the environment has become so widespread that all forms of life are threatened. In June 1972 representatives of some 130 nations met in Stockholm for an unprecedented meeting under the auspices of the United Nations to seek ways of translating their concern about the deterioration of conditions on our planet into a global attack on the problem. From that meeting the UN Environmental Programme was established. UNEP's mission is to monitor and assess sources of pollution and assist nations in finding ways to reduce the harmful effects of human activity.
