the Bruntland Report
The Bruntland 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 the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The report emphasizes that economic growth, social fairness, and environmental protection should be balanced. It highlights that long-term global well-being depends on responsible management of natural resources, promoting cooperation, and considering both ecological health and human development for a sustainable future.
