The true beginnings. 1973 - 1986 The first real sign of a distinct Community environmental policy came in the run-up to the landmark 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, convened in 1968 by the United Nations General Assembly.8 In this way, the birth of Community environmental law occurred simultaneously with the beginning of a new period in international environmental law: as concern mounted for the “continuing and accelerating impairment of the quality of the human environment”,9 the impetus for international and regional environmental action grew.
