Sustainable Development
Meeting human development while at the same time sustaining the ability of 
natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services upon 
which the economy and society depends. 
One of the first uses of the term sustainable in the contemporary sense was 
by “Club of Rome” in 1972 in its classic report on the “Limits to Growth”, 
written by a group of scientists. 
In 1987, the UN World Commission on Environment and Development released 
the report “Our Common Future”, commonly called the “Brundtland Report”.
