== The Brundtland report  ==
In 1983, the UN decided to put down a commission. This commission was a world commission for environment and development. This became necessary because of the continuous questions from the public and media. The commission is led by the Norwegian prime minister Gro Harlem Brundtland, therefore the final report presented by this commission, was called The Brundtland Report. The original title of this paper is Our Common Future [5] and was first presented in 1987. The Brundtland Report showed the world that the way we lived at this age, was not compliant with the needs of the planet. It showed the world a new way, the sustainable way. It was very keen on preserving the current resources and told very strictly that to ensure a suitable planet for future generations, we must not exceed the required consumption. 
The report was very thorough and had a lot of different statement to what had to be done and what should not be continued. With this report, sustainability was slowly implemented in the different organizations around the world. Today the project managers are required to always keep sustainability in mind, this mainly because of the large amount of focus back in 1983.
