Maurice Strong : Pioneer of the International Environmental Movement podcast
This podcast, created by Felix Dodds and Chris Spence, the editors of the book Heroes of Environmental Diplomacy: Profiles in Courage, focuses on the contributions of key people involved in international negotiations.
In the realm of environmental diplomacy, few figures have been as influential as Maurice Strong, a Canadian businessman and diplomat. In this episode, we delve into Strong's remarkable journey from his humble beginnings in rural Canada to becoming a key architect of the international environmental movement. We explore his significant contributions to landmark events such as the 1972 Stockholm Conference on Human Environment and the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, where he helped shape Agenda 21. Additionally, we highlight his role in establishing the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and his advocacy for inclusive stakeholder engagement in environmental policymaking. Join us as we celebrate Strong's legacy as a champion for sustainable development and a driving force behind global initiatives aimed at tackling environmental challenges.
