This year's Human Development Report explains why we have less than a decade to change course and start living within our global carbon budget, and how climate change will create long-run low human development traps, pushing vulnerable people into a downward spiral of deprivation.

Aujourd'hui, l'action collective concernant les défis allant de l'atténuation du changement climatique à la paix et à la sécurité est désespérément lente, voire bloquée. Le manque de confiance et la polarisation – tous deux associés à l'insécurité – aggravent l'impasse. Les défis mondiaux communs et interdépendants, comme la pandémie et sa reprise, dépassent notre volonté et la capacité de nos institutions à y répondre. Pourquoi, malgré toutes nos richesses et nos technologies, sommes-nous si bloqués ? Comment pouvons-nous nous en sortir ? Est-il possible de mobiliser l'action pour relever les défis communs à l'échelle mondiale dans un monde intensément polarisé ? Le présent rapport explore ces questions et offre une plateforme de discussion stratégique sur la manière de dépasser la pensée étroite à somme nulle et de soutenir la coopération en dépit des intérêts et points de vue divergents.

Hoy en día, la acción colectiva frente a desafíos que van desde la mitigación del cambio climático hasta la paz y la seguridad es frustrantemente lenta o está totalmente bloqueada. La falta de confianza y la polarización, ambas asociadas con la inseguridad, exacerban el estancamiento. Los desafíos globales compartidos e interconectados, como la pandemia y su recuperación, están superando nuestra voluntad y las capacidades de nuestras instituciones para responder a ellos. ¿Por qué, a pesar de todas nuestras riquezas y tecnologías, estamos tan estancados? ¿Cómo salimos del estancamiento? ¿Es posible movilizar la acción para abordar los desafíos globales compartidos en un mundo intensamente polarizado? El Informe sobre Desarrollo Humano 2023-2024 explora estas cuestiones y ofrece una plataforma para el debate estratégico sobre cómo ir más allá del estrecho pensamiento de suma cero y apoyar la cooperación incluso cuando tenemos intereses y puntos de vista divergentes.

This is the second Assessment of Development Results (ADR) conducted by the Independent Evaluation Office of UNDP in 2014 with a view to contributing to the realignment of the ongoing country programme (2011-2015) and the corresponding gender strategy to ensure consistency with: the Somali New Deal Compact, the UN Integrated Strategic Framework, the UNDP Strategic Plan (2014-2017) and the Gender Equality Strategy (2014-2017). In so doing the ADR will also contribute to the preparation of the new UNDP country programme that will begin in 2017.

This 2016 Africa Human Development Report on gender equality follows the 2012 Africa Human Development Report, which looked at the importance of assuring food security for all Africans. The two reports share a common objective of addressing what might be considered two unfinished agenda items on Africa’s development trajectory. Both have long been recognized as important priorities for the governments and citizens of African countries. This year’s report on gender equality reviews the ongoing efforts of African countries to accelerate the pace of assuring women’s empowerment through all spheres of society – in the home and community, in health and educational attainment, in the workplace, and in political participation and leadership. While significant progress has been made across numerous fronts in most countries, gender equality for African women and girls is still far from satisfactory. This report adopts a political economy approach to gender equality and women’s empowerment in Africa.

The 30th Anniversary 2020 Human Development Report is the latest in the series of global Human Development Reports published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) since 1990 as independent and analytically and empirically grounded discussions of major development issues, trends and policies. This report offers a thought-provoking, necessary alternative to paralysis in the face of alarming planetary change. Its release comes as the COVID-19 (coronarvirus) pandemic simultaneously offers a glimpse of what a ‘new normal’ could hold and opens up the opportunity for humanity to change course. The report also sets out new metrics of human development to guide us, including a new, experimental Planetary pressures-adjusted Human Development Index.

Continuing the thread of the 2019 and 2020 Human Development Reports (HDRs), the 2021/2022 HDR carries forward a conversation centered on inequalities while integrating other important themes related to uncertainties in the Anthropocene: societal-level transformations, mental health impacts, political polarization, but also, crucially, opportunity. The Report explores how uncertainty in the Anthropocene is changing, what is driving it, what it means for human development, and how we can thrive in spite of it. The Report argues that, in the end, doubling down on human development is central to a more prosperous future for all

Dans la continuité des Rapports sur le développement humain (RDH) 2019 et 2020, le RDH 2021/22 poursuit une conversation centrée sur les inégalités tout en intégrant d'autres thématiques importantes liées aux incertitudes de l'Anthropocène : transformations sociétales, impacts sur la santé mentale, polarisation politique , mais aussi, et surtout, une opportunité. Le rapport explore comment l'incertitude dans l'Anthropocène évolue, ce qui la motive, ce qu'elle signifie pour le développement humain et comment nous pouvons prospérer malgré cela. Le rapport soutient qu'en fin de compte, doubler le développement humain est essentiel à un avenir plus prospère pour tous.

Continuando con el hilo de los Informes sobre Desarrollo Humano (IDH) de 2019 y 2020, el Informe sobre Desarrollo Humano 2021/22 lleva adelante una conversación centrada en las desigualdades al tiempo que integra otros temas importantes relacionados con las incertidumbres en el Antropoceno: transformaciones a nivel social, impactos en la salud mental, polarización política. , pero también, crucialmente, oportunidad. El Informe explora cómo está cambiando la incertidumbre en el Antropoceno, qué la impulsa, qué significa para el desarrollo humano y cómo podemos prosperar a pesar de ella. El Informe sostiene que, al final, duplicar el desarrollo humano es fundamental para un futuro más próspero para todos.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has broken into a dizzying gallop. While AI feats grab headlines, they privilege technology in a make-believe vacuum, obscuring what really matters: people’s choices. The choices that people have and can realize, within ever expanding freedoms, are essential to human development, whose goal is for people to live lives they value and have reason to value. A world with AI is flush with choices the exercise of which is both a matter of human development and a means to advance it. Going forward, development depends less on what AI can do—not on how human-like it is perceived to be—and more on mobilizing people’s imaginations to reshape economies and societies to make the most of it. Instead of trying vainly to predict what will happen, this year’s Human Development Report asks what choices can be made so that new development pathways for all countries dot the horizon, helping everyone have a shot at thriving in a world with AI.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)’s 2025 Regional Human Development Report for Latin America and the Caribbean, Under Pressure: Recalibrating the Future of Development in LAC, examines how the region faces a new era of uncertainty shaped by recurrent crises, technological acceleration, social fragmentation, and climate challenges. These dynamics have exposed the structural vulnerabilities that undermine the sustainability of progress. In response, the Report calls for a paradigm shift: placing resilience at the core of development strategies, not as a byproduct but as a guiding principle for public policies, institutions, and infrastructure. By advancing the concept of resilient human development, the report outlines a roadmap to protect and expand people’s freedoms, recognizing both individual and collective agency as essential for navigating uncertainty.

The eighth edition of The Human Development Report. The focus of this issue is the eradication of poverty throughout the world, providing data tables updated and derived from a set of Human Development Indicators.

The Human Development Report, now in its seventh edition, updates the unique Human Development Indicators comparing human development in most countries of the world, and the data tables on all aspects of human development. It describes the historical evolution of the human development paradigm, and examines the trends in economic growth and human development from a larger canvas, ultimately showing their impact on people. The special focus of this edition is on the important link between economic growth and human development. The Report maintains that the link is not automatic but can be established through proper policy management, arguing the case for initiating and accelerating economic growth and at the same time accelerating and sustaining human development in different parts of the world. The Report also maintains that the quality of growth is as important as its quantity; otherwise, growth can be jobless, voiceless, ruthless, rootless, and futureless. It identifies employment as an important instrument in translating the benefits of economic growth into peoples lives.According to the Report, the world has become polarized since more than a billion people are enjoying a more than 5 per cent per capita income growth, while there are nearly a billion people suffering from negative growth. The Report ranks 174 countries according to the Human Development Index (HDI). It also gives the global ranking of more than 100 countries in terms of Gender-Related Development Index (GDI) and the Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM). The first index represents HDI, taking into account gender inequality in capabilities, and the second represents female opportunities in selected economic and political areas. New to this edition is the Capability Poverty Measure (CPM), which is used as an alternative to the traditional income poverty measure. The Report concludes that the future challenge is how to forge and sustain the desired kind of linkage between economic growth and human development in a globalized world which represents both opportunities and threats for the nations of the world.

This summary of the history and current status of sustainable human development in China looks at the outstanding challenges to be faced, and makes a number of broad policy recommendations for tackling them. Because this is the first national HDR undertaken for China, it establishes a baseline for future efforts by discussing in detail a wide spectrum of development issues, including the distribution of income, health care, education and nutrition, population and migration, the status of women, employment, social security provision, the state of the natural environment, and the reform of state enterprises. There are many causal inter-connections highlighted among these various issues.
