ENVIRONMENTAL PRCYrECTION REVIEW
AND COORDINATION ACTIVITIES

SECTION I
PERSPECTIVE
1.

Global

Activities

The United
Nations
Environmental
Program
(UNEP)
priorities
remained
as stated
in our last
review.
Most of the
activities
were for planning
purposes,
expert
meetings,
intergovernmental
conferences
and seminars.
Maurice
Strong
completed
staffing
of the Nairobi
headquarters
with a full
slate
of qualified
experts.
Strong
feels
the organization
is now ready to recorranend
concrete
action
proposals.

~rt

UNEP has started
to work closely
with industry
to explore
ways to reduce
global
pollution.
The Pulp and Paper Industry
were
the first
singled
out for consultations.
Indications
are that
the
oil
industry,represented
by IPIECA,will
participate
in a seminar
with
UNEP in early
1976.
UNEP's major accomplishment
in 1974 was obtaining
agreement
of the 16 Mediterranean
countries
to convene
and discuss
a comprehensive
plan to protect
the Mediterranean
Sea.
part
of the
impetus
for such an accord
was concern
over increased
oil pollution
as a result
of re-opening
of the Suez Canal.
Malta has proposed
a
regional
centre
to cope with massive
oil spills.
The Global
Environmental
Monitoring
System under
Dr.
Francesco
Sella,
a distinguished
Italian
physicist,
is rapidly
taking
shape.
Within
a few years,
we should
have the answers
to
Scandinavia
"acid rains"
and "where has all the ozone gone."

r,aw of

the

Sea Conference

The Law of the Sea Conference
held in Caracas
last
summer was adjourned
after
ten weeks without
reaching
a conclusive
agreement
on any of the major issues.
Imperial
made a submission
in this
regard
to the Standing
Committee
on External
Affairs
and
National
Defence.
The company strongly
encouraged
the Canadian
Government
in its ·stand
for coastal
state
jurisdiction
of subsea
and subsoil
resources
to the seaward
edge of the continental
margin
or 200 miles,
whichever
is greater.
In the brief,
Imperial
also urged Canada to ratify
the 1973 IMCO "Convention
for the Prevention
of Pollution
from Ships".

In keeping

a great

of effort
will
continue
to be required
in working
with governments to ensure

and achievable.
Governments generally
have shown a strong
preference
to work with

has gained
their
respect
by its positive
and constructive
attitude
and accomplishments.
It is crucial,
therefore,
that
we continue
to contribute
our
