Hi Kristen, Did not attend. I believe that Sweden played a role in suggesting the conference and thus it was host. Hans Blix of more recent fame as head of the IEAE played a role on Sweden's behalf. Maurice Strong, from Canada was the Secretary-General of the Conference. Lynton Caldwell's book on International Environmental Policy is a great history of the the Conference. Rio too, and others aspects of early international environmental law and policy.

Inspite of reading several textbook on the Stockholm-Rio process including the excellent 5th edition of Chasek, Downie and Brown: Global Environmental Politics, one question remains: Who were the lead countries behind the Stockholm conference in 1972. Chasek et al. mentions that the conference was supported by the US, but was the US lead state? I wonder about that. Does anyone have an answer? Maybe someone out there with even more grey hair than mine even attended the conference? Thank you in advance.
