UNDP report: 9 out of 10 countries regress in human development amid compounding global crises
Summary
The UNDP's latest Human Development Report warns that the world is trapped in a cycle of crisis response, unable to address root causes of global troubles. Nine out of ten countries have fallen backwards in human development due to compounding layers of uncertainty from the pandemic, climate change, and geopolitical conflicts. The report argues for a sharp change of course to avoid further deprivations and injustices, emphasizing the need to tackle interconnected global challenges rather than firefighting individual crises.
