the first coordinated effort by the nations ollhe world to alleviate
common ecological problems. In 1 W2. another such meeting, the United
Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED)
was held in Rio de Janeiro. The conference focused on developing
uniform international pollution control standards and setting forth a list
of priorities to protect the environment. ;» Through its Office of
