This lecture covers the historical precursors of sustainable development, from Thomas Jefferson's concept of usufruct to the Brundtland Report's definition of sustainable development. It discusses the collapse of the Atlantic cod fishery, the importance of caring for future generations, and the key concepts leading to sustainable development. The lecture also explores the Brundtland Report's emphasis on innovation, economic growth, population growth, and climate change, as well as the outcomes of the Earth Summit in Rio 1992.
