Stockholm, 2 June 2022 – Fifty years after Sweden hosted the first-ever United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, and with the world facing a triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, governments, civil society, young people and the private sector today gathered for an international meeting – Stockholm+50 – to spur urgent action for a healthy planet for the prosperity of all.
Thousands of participants are attending the two-day meeting – convened by the UN and co-hosted by Sweden and Kenya – with speakers including His Majesty the King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, President Azali Assoumani of Comoros, President Mohamed al-Menfi of Libya, Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa of Nigeria, UN Secretary-General António Guterres and John Kerry, United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate.
“The crisis for our environment and climate affects people all around the world. The developed countries are the ones who pollute and have polluted the most. But the poorest are hit the hardest,” Prime Minister Andersson said in her opening remarks. “We must ensure that no country is left behind. And we must ensure that no person is left behind. The climate transition can only be done if it’s made in a social and inclusive way. This is not just an option. This is our moral obligation.”
Speakers stressed the need for decisive action to transform the global economy and humanity’s relationship with nature for people and planet to thrive.
“We have an exceptional opportunity to turn climate and environmental commitments into action, if we work together as a community of nations. Heightened ambition in financing and implementation should be at the core of these actions,” said President Kenyatta of Kenya, which has hosted the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) since it was established following the 1972 Stockholm Conference.
The Stockholm Declaration, which contained 26 principles, placed environmental issues at the forefront of international concerns and marked the start of a dialogue between industrialized and developing countries on the link between economic growth, the pollution of the air, water, and oceans and the well-being of people around the world.
The Action Plan contained three main categories: a) Global Environmental Assessment Programme (watch plan); b) Environmental management activities; (c) International measures to support assessment and management activities carried out at the national and international levels. In addition, these categories were broken down into 109 recommendations.
One of the major results of the Stockholm conference was the creation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

The ministerial meeting will bring together some 30 donor and developing countries, the UN and leading representatives of central organisations and funds, including the World Bank, the Green Climate Fund and UNDP.
Reports from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) show that current global efforts are far from enough, despite promises from donor countries to increase their funding.
“I have brought together key countries and organisations to mobilise political support to speedily increase funding to the worst affected countries. The Government is doubling its support to the Global Environment Facility and substantially increasing its support to Sida’s environment and climate strategy as part of the efforts to double Swedish climate aid,” says Ms Ernkrans.
On 2–3 June, the UN Stockholm+50 meeting will be held in Stockholm under the theme: A healthy planet for the prosperity of all – our responsibility, our opportunity. For many developing countries, greater solidarity is necessary for them to be able to take part in the green transition.
