Brundtland Commission
The Brundtland Commission, officially known as the World Commission on Environment and Development, was established by the United Nations in 1983. Its primary goal was to address the growing concerns about environmental degradation and social inequality. The commission aimed to find a sustainable path for development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
In 1987, the commission released a landmark report titled "Our Common Future." This document introduced the concept of sustainable development, emphasizing the interconnectedness of economic growth, environmental protection, and social equity. The Brundtland Commission's work laid the foundation for future international agreements and discussions on sustainability, influencing global policies and initiatives.
