Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

This summit held in June 1992 was attended by 170 states, thousands of NGOs and many multinational corporations. Five years earlier, the 1987 Brundt Land Report, Our Common Future, had 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. What was obvious at this Summit was that the rich and developed countries of the First World, called the 'Global North', were pursuing a different environmental agenda than the poor and developing countries of the Third World, called the 'Global South'. Whereas the Northern states were concerned with ozone depletion and global warming, the Southern states were anxious to address the relationship between economic development and environmental management.
