Description
A call to action for a sustainable future has never been more urgent. In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development presented a landmark report that warned of the devastating consequences of environmental degradation and called for a fundamental shift in policy decisions. The commission's findings were stark: the planet is facing critical challenges, including acid rain, global warming, ozone depletion, desertification, and species loss. The report argued that it is not too late to change these policies, but immediate action is required. This book presents the commission's proposals for a new approach to development, one that balances economic growth with environmental sustainability. Published in 1987, Our Common Future remains a vital document in the ongoing quest for a more sustainable future.
