| Description: | What is sustainable development? Coming up with a comprehensive book about such an elusive subject presents a number of difficulties. The most well-known and widely cited definition of sustainable development comes from the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development of the United Nations commonly known as the Brundtland Commission after its chair, former Norwegian prime minister Gro Harlem Brundtland. The Brundtland Commission defined sustainable development as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” |
