Explanation:

The Club of Rome, a global think tank, published a book in 1972 entitled Limits to Growth, dramatising the potential depletion of the Earth’s resources against the backdrop of rapidly growing world population.

What was obvious at the Rio Summit was that the rich and developed countries of the First World, generally referred to as the ‘global North’ were pursuing a different environmental agenda than the poor and developing countries of the Third World, called the ‘global South’.

The 1987 Brundtland Report, Our Common Future, warned that traditional patterns of economic growth were not sustainable in the long term, especially in view of the demands of the South for further industrial development.
