"Stockholm was without having doubt the landmark occasion in the growth of international environmentalism," writes John McCormick in the book Reclaiming Paradise. "It was the first occasion on which the political, social and economic concerns of the global atmosphere had been discussed at an intergovernmental forum with a view to actually taking corrective action."

World Environment Day is similar to Earth Day.

It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in 1970 and is celebrated in a large number of nations every year.
