It was held at the Gran Hotel La Toja, Island of La Toja, Spain on May 12-14, 1989. It discussed "environmental constraints", presaging their use decades later as a justification for increased control (i.e. the "fight against climate change"). The guests included business executives, politicians, financiers, editors/journalists and academics. The next meeting was the 1990 Bilderberg.

“The observed increase in global mean temperature has been neither monotonic with time nor uniform over the globe as has been the increase of greenhouse gases. This situation calls into question the validity of isolating the greenhouse effect as the only cause of the recent temperature increase. A second uncertainty stems from the knowledge that the Earth has gone through major perturbations in temperature and climate in the past and continues to go through seasonal and cyclical changes (Figures 8, 9). How much if any of the recent changes then are just part of a long term trend is not known.”
 (1989) 

The moderator of the discussion was Costa Carras, the background paper was written by S. Ichtiaque Rasool and the introductory remarks were by William K. Reilly and Klaus Töpfer. The report of the 1989 Bilderberg asked "How can the Atlantic Alliance credibly suggest to China that increased exploitation of its reserves of coal is counter-productive?"
