Our Common Future is a joint work produced in 1987 by a United
Nations commission headed by former Norwegian Prime Minister, Gro
Brundtland. Also known as The Brundtland Report, it offers a
classic approach to problem solving by first asking a productive
question. How do we protect the world we live in for future
generations, while at the same time stimulating economic and social
development right now? The solution the work proposes is
"sustainable development", defined in the report as humanity's
ability "to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs." The key conclusion the report came to - that we need
long-term strategies to manage the earth's natural resources -
proved to be so universally welcomed it introduced the term
"sustainability" into the everyday language of international
politics. Solving the problem of workable sustainable development
became a hot topic, leading to the birth of a new academic
discipline, environmental economics. The book offered a solution to
the problem of ensuring sustainable development by highlighting the
critical importance of international cooperation.
