The Brundtland Report (Our Common Future)

The Brundtland Report, officially titled "Our Common Future," was published in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development. It highlighted the importance of sustainable development, which means meeting the needs of the present without compromising future generations’ ability to meet their own needs. The report emphasizes the interconnectedness of economic growth, environmental protection, and social equity. It calls for global cooperation to address issues like poverty, environmental degradation, and resource depletion, urging countries to create policies that support long-term viability and fairness for all people and the planet.
