Call for Papers: The 1972 Stockholm Conference, Fifty Years Later: What Legacy? (dealine March 30, 2022)

The editors of the international journal "The Annals of the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi. An Interdisciplinary Journal of Economics, History and Political Science" are calling for proposals for a special section on The 1972 Stockholm Conference, Fifty Years Later: What Legacy? to be published in an upcoming issue of the journal.

The special issue is meant to commemorate the 50 years since the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, universally known as the birthplace of global environmentalism. The Stockholm conference hosted 112 national delegations, UN specialized agencies, international NGOs, and a counter-conference organized by environmental activists. It established a range of institutional, political, intellectual, and cultural developments that made the environment a pressing global issue. Participants adopted instruments such as the Stockholm Declaration and Action Plan for the Human Environment and prepared the ground for the United Nations Environment Programme. This special issue wants to explore the conference and its legacy. The Stockholm Conference established international political goals and legal principles that have underpinned environmental discourse and law-making for a half-century.
