it was almost four and a half decades ago that the global community, for the first time began to sense the finite nature of usable resources and the looming threat to human existence. First to lead the way towards this 'new consciousness' was the Club of Rome, founded in April 1968 by Aurelio Peccei, an Italian industrialist and Alexander King, a Scottish scientist, and, the club's prospectus titled "The Predicament of Mankind"? In 1972, the Club attracted immense public attention with its report "The Limits to Growth", making it a
best-selling environmental book in history. The report by a team of analysts from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) predicted that economic growth could not continue indefinitely. By linking the
world economy with environment, The Limits to Growth was the first The author was a Member of the Indian Delegation to the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea for all the Sessions of the Conference between 1975 and 1982.

| Summary/Abstract |
United Nations Conference on Environment & Development (UNCED), Rio de Janeiro, 1992 In 1992, five years after the publication of the Brundtland Report, the United Nations Conference on Environment & Development (UNCED), known as the Earth Summit, took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between 3 and 14 June 1992. The Rio Summit brought together 182 world leaders - delegates from UN agencies and international organisations as well as world media and hundreds of Non- government organisations, to build upon the 1972 Stockholm conference and the 1987 Brundtland Report, and propelled sustainability on to the international stage. The Brundtland concept of sustainable development was universally endorsed at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment & Development (UNCED). The concept as elaborated by UNCED represents a new paradigm, a new mode of thinking to serve as a guide to action. Achieving sustainable development involves a process of decision- making in which certain questions are asked and appropriate choices and decisions made. Thus, there is never an end-state of sustainable development but a process that constantly tries to harmonise the needs of development with the maintenance of integrity of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea for all the Sessions of the Conference between 1975 and 1982.
