Presentation of First International Pahlavi Environment Prize
Caption Description
Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, upon the unanimous recommendation of the Advisory Selection Committee and after consultation with the Government of Iran, announced on 19 May that Maurice F. Strong of Canada will be the first recipient of the International Pahlavi Environment Prize. The Prize, which includes an award of $50,000 donated by the Government of Iran through the UN, is to be given annually for the most outstanding contribution in the field of the environment. Maurice F. Strong was named Secretary-General of the UN Conference on Human Environment in September 1970. In that capacity, he also assumed principal responsibility for environmental affairs within the UN Secretariat. Following the successful conclusion of the Conference in 1972, he was appointed First Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme as of 1 January 1973. At the end of 1975, he returned to the service of the Canadian Government where he presently serves as President and Chairman of Petro-Canada.
Maurice F. Strong shakes hands with Prince Abdorreza Pahlavi, representing the Government of Iran, during the presentation ceremony held on the eve of World Environment Day. At right is Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim who presented the prize, and at left is Misael Pastrana-Borrero, Chairman of the Advisory Selection Committee and former President of Colombia.
