World Encyclopaedia Of Environmental Sustainability (12 Vols. Set) / Trivedi, Dr. Priya Ranjan - 2008 - 5506 pages
The term Sustainable Development was brought into common use by the world commission on Environment & Development in its 1987 report Our Common Future . The idea of sustaining the earth has proved a powerful metaphor in raising public awareness and focusing on the need for better environmental stewardship. The Brundtland Commission's definition of the term meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of future generation -is strongly endorsed by this report. We also believe with the Brundtland Commission, that meeting the needs of the poor in this generation is an essential aspect of sustainably meeting the needs of subsequent generations. There is no difference between the goals of development policy and appropriate environmental protection. Both must be designed to improve welfare.
