“OUR COMMON FUTURE”
"Humanity must have the ability to make development sustainable to ensure that it meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
The concept of sustainable development does imply limits, not absolute limits, but limitations imposed by the present state of technology and social organization on environmental resources, and by the ability of the biosphere to absorb the effects of human activities.
But technology and social organization can be both managed and improved to make way for a new era of economic growth.
The commission believes that widespread poverty is no longer inevitable. Poverty is not only an evil, but sustainable development requires meeting the basic needs of all and extending to all the opportunity to fulfil their aspirations for a better life.
A world, in which poverty is endemic, will always be prone to ecological, and other catastrophes”.
