| Abstract: | At the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, world
leaders committed themselves to the goal of
sustainable development. The term sustainable
development has since entered into everyday
language, and yet it remains an elusive concept.
Indeed, it is now used by governments,
industry, and non-governmental organizations
to mean almost anything they want it to mean.
However, in truth, it is a very simple idea. Before
the Rio Summit, WWF, along with our partner
organizations IUCN–The World Conservation
Union and UNEP, published Caring for the Earth,
a report subtitled “A strategy for sustainable
living”. We defined sustainable development as
“improving the quality of human life while living
within the carrying capacity of supporting
ecosystems”, and this definition remains as
valid today as it was then. |
