The two-week U.N. Conference on the Human Environment (5-l6 June) has been called by the General Assembly with the aim of producing an international political consensus on ways of preserving and improving the environment for this and future generations. About 1,200 delegates, many of them high-level decision makers in government, are in Stockholm for the session, which is the first world-wide U.N. gathering to take a comprehensive look at man's surroundings.
