  1. WEBINAR: From Human Development to Sustainable Human Development

    …a significant change in HDR thinking. Environmental issues are no longer seen as an “add on” to human development but as essentially interconnected with it. The Report doubles down on the belief that people’s agency and empowerment can bring about the action we need if we are to live in balance with the planet in a fairer world. It shows that we are at an unprecedented moment in history, in which human activity has become a dominant force shaping…
