June 11th.
United States.
New York.
The Second World Environmental Protection Technology Products Expo officially commenced.
This was a conference specifically designed to display environmental protection technology products and plans, initiated and organized by International Environmental Organizations, World Wildlife Foundation, Global Environment Facility, and International Greenpeace Organization.
There was no specific hosting time.
The last one took place in 1997.
But the results were not good. In an era when countries vigorously pursued GDP and global manufacturing was experiencing unprecedented prosperity, environmental issues were consistently suppressed, especially in developing countries, whereas developed countries always focused on environmental protection.
Thus,
this Expo was rather awkward at the time and was subsequently shelved for nine long years.
