Abstract

The most significant UN event on sustainable development was the 1992 Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro. The summit was based on the Gro Harlem Brundtland Commission Report Our Common Future, in which the official definition of sustainable development was presented: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
