Adoption of the Action Plan for the Human
Environment 339. At its 1st plenary meeting,
held on 5 June 1972, the Conference decided to
adopt as the basis for its consideration of
recommendations for action at the international
level, the framework for environmental action
suggested by the Secretary-General of the
Conference and described in Conference document
A/CONF.48/5. 340. At its 20th plenary meeting,
held on 16 June 1972, the President of the

accepted the framework for environmental action
and having adopted recommendations for action at
the international level, entrust the
Secretary-General of the Conference with the task
of fitting the recommendations which the
Conference had adopted into the framework,' and
that, on that understanding, the Action Plan for
the Human Environment be approved for inclusion
in the report of the Conference. The President's
proposal was adopted by the Conference.
