Abstract
The concept of sustainable development has been introduced following the Brundtland Commission's report “Our Common Future.” Though significant volume of literature does exist on the various aspects and impacts of the mentioned commission, the actual impact of the commission on the environment for which it was initiated has never been considered by any academicians. The chapter tries to quantify the qualitative aspect of environment through per capita emission of CO2 over the years. It shows that the concerned commission is successful in bringing down the rate of growth of per capita CO2 emissions, but it is yet to be negative. The chapter opines that to restore the resilience of the environment and to make ecology and economy synonymous again, further efforts are needed.
