World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD)

The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) took place in 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa. It brought together leaders from around the world to discuss ways to promote sustainable development, which balances economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. The summit aimed to address global challenges like poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. Delegates shared strategies and commitments to improve living conditions while safeguarding the planet for future generations. Ultimately, it sought to create a blueprint for working together on sustainable solutions, following up on previous international agreements like the Earth Summit in 1992.
