The seminal report- 'Our common future' which defined sustainable development as ‘meeting the basic needs of all and extending to all the opportunity to satisfy their aspirations for a better life’, points out which issue?

Moral issue

The correct answer is option 3: Moral issue

Sustainable development is, a development that meets the basic needs of all, particularly the poor majority, for employment, food, energy, water, housing, and ensures growth of agriculture, manufacturing, power and services to meet these needs. 

The seminal report—Our Common Future—that gave the above definition explained sustainable development as ‘meeting the basic needs of all and extending to all the opportunity to satisfy their aspirations for a better life’. Meeting the needs of all requires redistributing resources and is hence a moral issue.
