Bruntland Commission

The Brundtland Commission, officially the World Commission on Environment and Development, was set up by the United Nations in 1983 to address global environmental and development challenges. Its main goal was to find ways to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The commission's influential report, "Our Common Future," introduced the concept of sustainable development, emphasizing the importance of balancing economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection to create a more sustainable and equitable world.
