Broken societies put people and planet on collision course, says UNDP
New York – The COVID-19 pandemic is the latest crisis facing the world, but unless humans release their grip on nature, it won’t be the last, according to a new report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), which includes a new experimental index on human progress that takes into account countries’ carbon dioxide emissions and material footprint.

UNDP launch the 30th Anniversary Human Development Report: the unprecedented turning point of the ‘Age of Humans’ Published on 11 December 2020
On Tuesday 15 December, the 2020 Human Development report will be published by the UNDP on ‘Widening horizons for people and planet: human development and the Anthropocene’. It considers the current era as the next frontier for human development where instead of the planet shaping humans, humans are reshaping the planet. This raises fundamental questions on what humanity should do to navigate this new age and transform pathways to progress without compromising life-sustaining planetary cycles and biodiversity.
