Question:

Which of the following options stand true in regards to "Brundtland Commission"?

Options:

Emphasised on protecting the future generation

Present generation should bequeath a better environment to the future generation

Leaving a stock of "Quality of life" assets to the next generation

All of the above

Correct Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4: All of the above

The Brundtland Commission emphasises on protecting the future generation. This is in line with the argument of the environmentalists who emphasise that we have a moral obligation to hand over the planet earth in good order to the future generation; that is, the present generation should bequeath a better environment to the future generation. At least we should leave to the next generation a stock of ‘quality of life’ assets no less than what we have inherited.
