Maurice Strong (left, with former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev) has been able to bring world leaders together.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout his career, Strong was known for his relentless ability to bring influential figures together to address planetary crises. This intimate moment captures the essence of a man who relied on deep personal networks and wouldn't hesitate to grab world leaders by the arm to advocate for the protection of the global environment.

Having orchestrated monumental events like the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, he understood that shaping international environmental policy required the direct, unapologetic engagement of top-level decision-makers. He frequently sought out private conversations away from official minders to impress upon these leaders that they stood directly between the planet's success and failure.
