First sentence: Since the publication of the World Commission on Environment and Development report in 1987 (widely known as the Brundtland Report) and the promulgation of Agenda 21 at the UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro five years later, notions of 'sustainability' have been at the forefront of the environmental policy discourse.
