Sustainability - Mint - Sheetlets

In 1987, the United Nations report ‘Our Common Future’, also known as the Brundtland report, was published. Since then, the concept of sustainability has become increasingly embedded in society. The authors of the report define sustainable development as the ability to meet the needs of current generations without compromising the same ability of future generations. According to the report, global environmental problems are the result of poverty in one part of the world and unsustainable consumption and production in another.
