In 1987, the Bruntland Report, named after the President of the World Commission on Environment and Development (and who was also the Prime Minister of Norway) defined "sustainable development" as follows:

"development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, and especially the most basic needs of the world's poor [...]."

The expression "sustainable development" was coined in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio.
