D.
Sweden
Correct Answer:
D. Sweden
Explanation:
The correct answer is Sweden. In 1968, the Swedish government officially proposed that the United Nations organize a global conference to address the growing concerns regarding human impact on the environment. This initiative was motivated by Sweden's desire to foster international cooperation on environmental protection and development. Following this proposal, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2398 (XXIII) in December 1968, which led to the landmark United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm in 1972. This event is widely recognized as the starting point of global environmental diplomacy and led to the establishment of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
