In June, the Stockholm+50 conference marked 50 years since the birth of the environmental movement at the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment. It also brought the world together to accelerate action on the Sustainable Development Goals. The event’s Agenda for Action, Renewal and Trust laid out 10 actions for achieving a healthy planet. A few days later, World Environment Day engaged over 65 million people and saw a host of commitments from governments and the private sector, including Sweden banning new licenses for the extraction of coal, oil and natural gas.
