As a result of the increasing deterioration in the state of the world's environment, the United Nations General Assembly, by resolution 38/161 adopted at its thirty-eighth session, decided to set up a World Commission on Environment and development (WCED) to carefully study one situation and: (a) Propose long-term environmental strategies for achieving sustainable development by the year 2000 and beyond: (b) Recommend ways in which concern for the environment may be translated into greater stages of economic and social development and lead to the achievement of common and mutually supportive objectives which take account of the interrelationships between people, resources, environment and development. (c) Consider ways and means by which the international community can deal more effectively with environmental concerns; and (d) Help define shared perceptions of long-term environmental issues and the appropriate efforts needed to deal successfully with the problems of protecting and enhancing the environment, along-term agenda for action during the coming decades, and inspirational goals for the world community.
