Chapter
How Strong is Weak Sustainability?
Abstract
The Brundtland Commission’s report (WCED, 1987) sparked a lively debate about the meaning and desirability of sustainable development. Economists, perhaps more than others, have sought a clearer and more operational definition of sustainable development so that progress towards it can be monitored and measured.
