Taiga International Solstice-RTaiga Works is one of Vancouver’s great gear shops. They offer all styles of outdoor gear at very competitive prices.

Regarded by many as the landmark event of
the emergence of environmentalism because it
conferred a legitimacy to environmental
issues by placing them on the international

intergovernmental panels were represented.
It was a large conference and was perceived
to symbolize the growing awareness and
significance of environmental issues. It was
from the Stockholm conference that
UNEP and
CITES were spawned, and the conference
promoted the importance of environmental
issues at a national scale and encouraged
the development of national policies.
