| SUMMARY: |
The term “sustainable development” emerged as a key concept
in the literature dealing with development policies in the World
Commission on Environment and Development (Brundtland, 1987),
report entitled “Our Common Future” in April 1987. In general, the key
message of the Brundtland report (1987) argues that actions taken today
should not compromise future generations. Based on this report, the
“classic triad of sustainable development” was formulated (WCED,
1987) according to which sustainability is the meeting point of three
major dimensions of ecology, economy, and society. When the Brundtland
Report was written, the authors suggested that the world was going
through a fundamental change (Brundtland, 1987). However, they
certainly could not have imagined the scenario we actually live and the
socio‐political and scientific mobilization we need to assure a better
world. |
