Our Common Future

"Our Common Future," also known as the Brundtland Report, was published in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development. It emphasizes the need for sustainable development, which balances economic growth, environmental protection, and social equity. The report advocates for meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet theirs. It stresses global cooperation to address major issues like poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation, urging nations to adopt policies that consider long-term impacts. Ultimately, it calls for a collective responsibility to create a sustainable and equitable world for everyone.
