Explanation:

The definition of Sustainable Development was given by Brundtland Commission. Brundtland Commission was a commission established by the United Nations in 1983 as World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED). The commission was created to address the growing concern “about the accelerating deterioration of the human environment and natural resources and the consequences of that deterioration for economic and social development.”

The outcome of this commission was the “Brundtland Report“. The title of this report was “Our Common Future“. This report gave the definition:

“Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” and this definition is quoted first of all when anybody discusses about the sustainability.
