| Summary/Abstract |
TWO ANNIVERSARIES in 2022 received little attention because of global turbulence but symbolized events whose significance is hard to overestimate. They were two interrelated forums - the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm (June 5-16, 1972), also known as the Stockholm Conference, and the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro (June 3-14, 1992), informally called the Earth Summit. These two conferences laid the basis for the concept of sustainable development and the process of implementing it.
