environment summit

2. The United Nations Conference on the Human
Environment was the UN's first major conference on
the issue of the environment. Held in Sweden in 1972
The conference adopted the Stockholm Declaration and Plan of Action which set out
principles for the preservation and enhancement of the human environment, with
recommendations for international environmental action. The Conference also
created the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the first UN programme
focused solely on environmental issues.

3. What is agenda 21 ?
 Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally,
nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System,
Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the
environment.

4. Twenty years later, at the historic Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
in 1992, the United Nations sought to help Governments rethink
economic development and find ways to stop polluting the planet and
depleting it's natural resources.
 The two-week "Earth Summit" was the climax of a process that had begun in
December 1989, of planning, education and negotiations among all Member
States of the United Nations, leading to the adoption of Agenda 21, an
official global consensus on development and environmental cooperation.
 Basic to Agenda 21 was the acknowledgement that protecting the environment
required collaboration across boundaries. Agenda 21 was meant to reflect an
international consensus to support and supplement national strategies and plans
for sustainable development. It called for all States to participate in improving,
protecting and better managing ecosystems, and taking common responsibility
for the future.

5. What is rio declaration ?
 The Rio Declaration on environment and development was approved by the
United Nations during the Conference on Environment and Development held
in Rio de Janeiro on June 1992. ... The Rio Declaration states that the only
way to have long term economic progress is to link it with environmental
protection.

6.  The Earth Summit also produced the Rio Declaration, which had 27
principles, on new and equitable partnerships and development through
cooperation among States, social sectors and individuals. They reflected
human beings’ responsibility for sustainable development; the right of States
to use their own resources for their environmental and development policies;
and the need for State cooperation in poverty eradication and environmental
protection. The idea was that States must act in a spirit of global partnership
to conserve, protect and restore the integrity of the Earth’s ecosystem

7. World summit 2019
 The 2019 UN Climate Action Summit was held at the headquarters of the United
Nations in New York City on 23 September 2019.
 The UN 2019 Climate Summit convened on the theme, "Climate Action Summit
2019: A Race We Can Win. A Race We Must Win.“
 The goal of the summit was to further climate action to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions to prevent the mean global temperature from rising by more than 1.5 °C
(2.7 °F) above preindustrial levels.
 Sixty countries were expected to "announce steps to reduce emissions and support
populations most vulnerable to the climate crisis" including France, a number of
other European countries, small island countries and India.
 To increase pressure on political and economic actors to achieve the aims of the
summit, a global climate strike was held around the world on 20 September with
over four million participants.

8. Results of 2019 summit
 The results of the summit were significant though it is believed that they were not
enough to limit the rise of global temperature to less than 1.5 degrees as needed
to address the climate crisis. China did not increase its Paris agreement
commitments, India did not pledge to reduce its use of coal, and the U.S. did not
even speak at the conference.
 However, important commitments were made in many areas and the organizers
declared that: "Summit initiatives were designed to ensure the actions undertaken
would be fair for all, supporting jobs and clear air for better health, and protect
the most vulnerable, as well as new initiatives on adaptation, agriculture and
early warning systems that will protect 500 million additional people against the
impacts of climate change.“
 On the web, a page called "Announcements" contained press releases about the
results of the summit. Press releases with information about the issue were also
published in September 2019, in the section "Press Materials"
