The Earth Summit

The Earth Summit, formally known as the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It brought together leaders, governments, and activists to address global environmental issues and promote sustainable development. The summit resulted in key agreements, including the Agenda 21 action plan, which outlines strategies for combating environmental challenges while promoting economic growth and social equity. The Earth Summit highlighted the need for international cooperation in tackling problems like climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, setting the stage for future environmental initiatives and agreements.
