In 1987, the World Commission on the Environment and Development (WCED), which was set up in 1983, published a report entitled "Our Common Future". This document came to be known as the "Bruntland Report" after the Commission's chairwoman, Gro Harlem Bruntland. It developed guiding principles for sustainable development as it is generally understood today. The name "sustainable development" was used for the first time in 1973. The Bruntland Report stated that critical global environmental problems were primarily the result of the enormous poverty of the South and the non-sustainable patterns of consumption and production in the North. It called for a strategy that united development and the environment - described by the now-common term "sustainable development". Sustainable development is defined in the Bruntland Report as follows [WCED, 1987]: Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
