"It’s 1987. Newsstands are abuzz with the latest on the Cold War. Ladies with
huge hair gossip over West Coast Coolers as joggers tread past with George
Michael blaring from their Discman.
With the tense geopolitical climate and crumbling stock markets, it’s a wonder
anyone had time to even think about the environment. However, from despair
comes hope, and a hunger for change.
The
Brundtland Report, also known as
Our Common Future, was the first
public recognition of the environmental limits on economic growth. It called
for global partnerships to address environmental issues, bringing climate
change to the forefront of global discussions.
If the policies to follow had been effective in achieving their aims of
minimising damage from climate change and rising sea levels, then perhaps we
would be living in a very different world today."
