Our Common Future (Oxford Paperbacks)

Documenting the findings of the World Commission on Environment and Development--a committee created by the U.N. General Assembly in 1983 and headed by Gro Harlem Brundtland, the Prime Minister of Norway--Our Common Future reexamines the issues and problems of global environment and development to the year 2000 and beyond in order to formulate realistic proposals for resolving these issues.

The Brundtland Commission - formally the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), known by the name of its Chair Gro Harlem Brundtland, was convened by the United Nations in response to the 1983 General Assembly Resolution A/38/161 - "Process of preparation of the Environmental Perspective to the Year 2000 and Beyond" welcoming the establishment of such a Commission.
