Remembering the First Earth Summit


GreenPolicy360 Siterunner: Thirty years ago, and now I am older and looking back at the first "Earth Summit", the 'Conference of the Parties'. My reports to the Environmental News Service (ENS) picked up on the green, environmental platform planks I was also adding to the Platform in Progress for California Governor Jerry Brown's presidential campaign. The first Earth Summit and Governor Brown's energetic efforts both moved a vital, forward-looking vision and both encountered myriad obstacles from powers-that-be and business-as-usual. The obstacles didn't stop before or after 1992. The work continued on and continues to today... November 2021, fifty years on...

I'm now remembering and picking up and continuing the threads of Representative George E. Brown's work to advance climate science, beginning in earnest with the first National Climate Act of 1978 and establishment of the Office of Science and Technology Policy to push a big science, earth science agenda with the first generation of earth studies and science, and monitoring Commons', earth's atmosphere, natural resources (e.g., Landsat's start up), and an array of NASA/NOAA/USGS missions that have now continued for half a century.
