Brundtland Report (Our Common Future)
The Brundtland Report, officially called "Our Common Future," was published in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development. It introduced the concept of "sustainable development," which means meeting current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. The report emphasizes the interconnectedness of economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. It calls for global cooperation to address issues like poverty, pollution, and resource depletion, advocating for strategies that promote long-term well-being for people and the planet.
